The Impact of Medical TV Drama in Improving Literacy on Neurocysticercosis
The Impact of Medical TV Drama in Improving Literacy on Neurocysticercosis: An Online Open-Label Two-Arm Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomized controlled trial evaluates whether exposure to a medical television drama improves knowledge of neurocysticercosis (NCC) among young adults. Sixty participants aged 18-35 will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which will watch a medically relevant TV episode (House M.D., Season 1, Episode 1), or a control group with no media exposure. Both groups will complete pre- and post-test questionnaires assessing knowledge of NCC. The primary outcome is change in NCC-related knowledge. Secondary outcomes include motivation to seek further health information and perceived credibility of the media source
