Abstract Background: Adolescents’ risky behaviours often result from their inadequate knowledge of and experience with such behaviours and their lack of understanding of the risks involved. Objective: To study the feasibility of the intervention package on knowledge, health perception and health risk behaviour among adolescents. Materials and Methods: A quasi experimental non-equivalent control group design was adopted for the study. 20 adolescents (10-experiemntal & 10-control) who fulfilled inclusion criteria were selected. Purposive sampling technique was used. Data was collected using health risk behaviour screening tool, structured knowledge questionnaire and health perception scale developed by the investigator. Results: The results showed that in pretest the mean score for knowledge, health perception and health risk behavior was 8.55, 24.90, 15.20 in experimental group whereas in control group was 8.40, 24.20, 15.05. In post test the mean score for knowledge, health perception and health risk behavior was 13.85, 38.90, 9.05 in experimental group whereas in control group was 8.80, 25.05, 14.45. Experimental group of adolescents are gained 26.50% of knowledge score, 23.33% of Health perception score and 20.50% of reduced Health risk behaviour score than the control group. Conclusion: The pilot study concluded that the Value Integrated Health Care Programme was effective in improving the knowledge and health perceptions and reducing health risk behavior among adolescents in the study group and also revealed that it was feasible and practicable to conduct the main study. Keywords: value integrated health care programme, knowledge, health perceptions, health risk behaviours.
