January 2026 in “AIMS Public Health” This study protocol describes a single-blinded randomized controlled trial in Bangladesh, involving 185 participants with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), to assess the effects of a digital health education intervention on stress, anxiety, and depression. Participants are divided into an intervention group using a smartphone app with educational content and a control group receiving usual care. The study measures psychological outcomes with the DASS21 questionnaire and physiological markers like cortisol and testosterone over 6 months.
