        abstract = {Food is crucial for human life as it supplies the body with energy and helps to protect against illness. The right kind of food is of utmost importance for promotion of health and the wrong kind of food leads to promotion of diseases. Eating junk food has become a popular trend today, despite being very harmful to health. This habit often formed in childhood, can become a lifelong dependency with severe health consequences. Adolescents and young adults are particularly more prone to consuming junk food as compared to older people. The main objectives were to assess the effect of structured teaching programme on knowledge and attitude as well as to find out the association between the level of knowledge and attitude regarding junk food consumption among adolescents at selected secondary school, Lucknow. This study was conducted by using Quantitative research approach and Quasi-Experimental research design. The total sample size was 120 and Purposive sampling technique was used. Data collection was done by using self-structured knowledge questionnaire and attitude checklist. The findings of the study indicated that the implementation of structured teaching programme improved adolescents’ knowledge with favourable attitude. Apart from that, there was a significant association existing between knowledge and attitude at p value >0.05.},
