The mean difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge score was tested using paired t test at p<0.05 level of significance. There was significant association between knowledge regarding oral cancer among students in selected higher secondary schools and stream, previous knowledge of oral cancer, family history of tobacco use, family history of cancer. Conclusion: The study proved that Structured teaching programme was effective in increasing the knowledge regarding oral cancer among the participants. More studies need to be conducted to know the knowledge regarding oral cancer for early detection and prevention of oral cancer.
