After one week post test conducted by using same questionnaire this time girls shows increased knowledge regarding anemia and they are following healthy food habits for the prevention of anemia. Results showing adolescent girls have adequate knowledge regarding anemia .Various methods are used for measuring the variables such as mean, mode, and standard deviation for significance of demographic variables. Chi square test were used and there is significant association between demographic variables. Objectives: 1.To assess the pre and post test knowledge regarding anemia among adolescent girls. 2.To assess the effectiveness of IEC package knowledge on anemia.3.To associate the post test level of knowledge with selected demographic variables. Methods: The pre-experimental research design was used in this study to assess the effectiveness of IEC package on knowledge regarding anemia among adolescent girls at selected school in Chennai. The sample comprised of 60 adolescents girls. Convenient sampling technique was used to collect the data from the adolescent girls. The tool used in this study was self-administered questionnaire which comprise of two parts, Section-A: deals with the demographical variables, Section – B: deals with the Assessment of knowledge regarding anemia. Results: The result showed that the pre-test mean score of knowledge regarding anemia among adolescent girls was 9.97 and post-test mean score was 20.50 The mean difference score was 10.53 and the mean difference percentage was 42.12%.The calculated paired ‘t’ test value of 19.205 was found to be statistically significant at p<0.001 level. This shows that there was significant difference between the pre-test and post-test level of knowledge which clearly infers that teaching program. administered to adolescent girls was found to be effective in improving the level of knowledge in the post test.
