Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of adolescents about the impact of video games and to determine the effectiveness of an informational booklet as an educational tool. The research was conducted in selected schools of Jamnagar and was guided by Imogene King?s Goal Attainment Theory. A descriptive, non - experimental research design was used, with a sample of 60 adolescents selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire containing 29 multiple - choice items. Content validity was established by a panel of seven experts, and tool reliability was confirmed with a split - half method, yielding a coefficient of 0.88. In the pre - test, participants achieved a mean score of 12.6 (43.45%) with a standard deviation of 2.8, which increased in the post - test to a mean of 23.7 (81.72%) and a standard deviation of 2.23. A significant association was observed between knowledge scores and variables such as academic class (?? = 12.3), family income (?? = 15.5), frequency of gaming (?? = 4.2), and perceived educational impact (?? = 16.0). These results suggest that the informational booklet was effective in increasing adolescents? understanding of the consequences of video game use.
