research YouTube and the implementation and discontinuation of the oral contraceptive pill: A mixed-method content analysis
This study analyzed 175 German YouTube videos from 158 women discussing their experiences with oral contraceptive pills (OCPs). It found that common side effects during use included mood swings, weight gain, and headaches, while discontinuation often led to facial skin impurities, hair loss, and weight loss.
