Chikungunya is an emerging, epidemic-prone, vector-borne disease, of considerable significance and prevalence in India and various countries. Although not a killer disease, high morbidity rates and prolonged polyarthritis leading to considerable disability in a section of the affected population due to Chikungunya fever can cause substantial socioeconomic impact in affected countries. This study is a quasi experimental study. It consists of one group pre test-post test design was to evaluate the knowledge of 60 adults regarding prevention of Chikungunya. The structured questionnaire schedule was used to collect the data from the adults. The pre test was followed by implementation of structured teaching programme and post test was conducted after STP, to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching programme. the present study indicates the overall mean knowledge score percent in the pre test is 43.08% which is slightly less. This shows that there is lack of knowledge among adults regarding prevention of Chikungunya.
