Abstract: The health of children plays an important role because children are the base source for the future of mankind. Young and growing children have lack of knowledge towards communicable disease transmission and causing ill effects on their health. Lack of accurate information, improper guidance, parent ignorance etc. So dissemination of health information through children is one of the way of increasing knowledge on health. A Pre - experimental one group pre - test post test design, 60 children were selected by using non probability purposive sampling technique from selected schools of district Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. Video assisted teaching program was administered after the assessment of pre - test knowledge regarding 5 F?s of disease transmission (Food, Finger, Fluid, Fomite, Faeces). Post - test knowledge was assessed on the 7th day of administration of Video assisted teaching program through self structured knowledge questionnaire. The result of the study showed significant difference between the mean pre - test knowledge score was 12.13 and the mean post test knowledge score was 25.6 and t value obtained (25.15) was found to be statistically very highly significant at 0.05 level of significance. Hence it shows that mean post test knowledge score was greater than mean pre test knowledge score, which shows the effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme.
