Abstract: The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a multimedia educational package in improving knowledge and attitudes regarding preconception care among college students. Using a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design, the researchers evaluated 170 students from selected colleges through structured questionnaires and a modified Likert scale. Following a 20?25-minute multimedia intervention, post-test assessments were conducted after 14 days. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in both knowledge (t = 25.6, p < 0.001) and attitude (t = 18.08, p < 0.001) scores. These outcomes suggest that multimedia-based educational tools can play a valuable role in promoting reproductive health awareness among young women. The study recommends integrating such interventions into broader public health strategies to inform women during their reproductive years.
