        abstract = {A quantitative research approach with a pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test research design was adopted to assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding prevention of anaemia among adolescent girls. The study was conducted in a selected Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. A total of 64 adolescent girls were selected using convenience sampling technique. Demographic variables included age, class of study, residence, type of family, family income, mother’s education, father’s education, mother’s occupation, father’s occupation, dietary pattern, and source of information. A self-structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the level of knowledge regarding prevention of anaemia.
The findings of the study revealed that in the pre-test, 32.8% of adolescent girls had inadequate knowledge, 65.6% had moderately adequate knowledge, and only 1.6% had adequate knowledge. In the post-test, none of the participants had inadequate knowledge, 35.9% had moderately adequate knowledge, and 64.1% had adequate knowledge. The mean post-test knowledge score (32.59) was significantly higher than the mean pre-test score (17.94), with a mean difference of 14.65, which was statistically significant at p < 0.001. A significant association was found between pre-test knowledge and mother’s educational status. The study concluded that the structured teaching programme was effective in improving knowledge regarding prevention of anaemia among adolescent girls.},
