Dear Editor, We assessed the prevalence of polycystic ovary morphology (PCOM) in the Campania Region of South Italy as a result of a large information campaign aimed at disease prevention in the adolescent population. The campaign was based on free visits and diagnostics. A total of 141 female adolescents aged 14–19 years were enrolled in a wide student population in the Salerno area. Written informed consent was obtained by the young women. They were all healthy and did not take therapy for menstrual disturbances or hirsutism. Subjects using medication (including oral contraceptives) were excluded.
