A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of a Planned Teaching Programme on Knowledge Regarding Prevention of Vector Borne Diseases in an Urban Community
Abstract: Vector borne diseases remain a major public health concern in India. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding prevention of vector borne diseases among adults in an urban community of Lucknow. A quantitative quasi-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was adopted among 130 participants selected using convenient sampling. A structured questionnaire assessed knowledge before and after the teaching programme. Post-test knowledge scores were significantly higher than pre-test scores (p < 0.0001), indicating the effectiveness of the intervention.
