Abstract: Introduction: Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common nutritional deficiency anaemias in the country among adolescent girls and women of childbearing age. In 2013, to combat anaemia in adolescents, Government of India implemented ?Weekly Iron and Folic acid Supplementation (WIFS)?. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of video assisted learning on WIFS Programme among adolescents in a selected school at Chennai. Method: A cross-sectional study consists of a pre-test analysis followed by a video assisted learning intervention and post-test analysis after 1 week were done by administering a self-structured questionnaire. Results: There were 74 participants in the study and the demographic profile was obtained. The level of knowledge on the post-test based on knowledge assessment score (mean - 25.81?3.78) was significantly higher than the level of knowledge on the pre-test based on knowledge assessment score (mean - 13.35?3.88). The demographic variable of taking regular tablets (F=3.090, p=0.042) which are provided from schools by WIFS programme had shown statistically significant association with mean differed score of knowledge on WIFS Programme among adolescents. Conclusion: The post - test analysis was done after a video assisted learning tool, it is evident that the students learnt better and showed improvement in knowledge on WIFS Programme following an intervention.
