Results:
Most of the participants (60%) were between the age of 21 and 25 years and had a family history of DM. The majority of participants (80.0%) demonstrated good awareness of DM. Slightly more than half of them (58.8%) thought that DM was curable, which contradicts their knowledge measure. Nevertheless, 88.8% of participants were interested to learn more about DM.
Conclusions:
The use of a strategic storyboard and creative editing of the promotional video was a potential trigger to raise the young adults' curiosity to find out more about DM.
