ABSTRACT Introduction: Junk food is unhealthy food that is high in calories from sugar or fat, with little dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals or other important forms of nutritional value (WHO). The ill- effects of junk food on our health is very vast such as obesity, heart diseases, digestive issues, depression, stroke, cancer, T2DM and deaths. So it is better to avoid junk food and eat healthy food” EAT HEALTHY, AND LIVE HEALTHY”. For that we conduct a study to assess the impact of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding health hazards of junk food among adolescents in a selected Army Good Will School Anantnag Kashmir. The objectives of the study are: 1. To assess the pre- test knowledge score among adolescents in a selected Army Good Will School Anantnag Kashmir. 2. To assess the post-test knowledge score among adolescents in a selected Army Good Will School Anantnag Kashmir. 3. To compare pre-test and post-test knowledge score among adolescents in a selected Army Good Will School Anantnag Kashmir. 4. To find the association between pre-test knowledge score with selected demographic variables; age, educational status, monthly income, place of residence and gender. METHOD: - Ludwig Von Bertanioffys General Systems Theory Conceptual framework was used which includes input process and output. Research approach and research design was pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design. Stratified random sampling was used to select a sample of 30 adolescent students studying in Army Good Will School Anantnag Kashmir. The tool (standard knowledge questionnaire) consisted of demographic variables and knowledge regarding health hazards of junk food. RESULTS:- The findings of study showed that in the pre-test 25 students ( 83.33%) had inadequate knowledge and 5 ( 16.66%) had moderately adequate knowledge. None had adequate knowledge regarding health hazards of junk food. After the introduction of planned teaching programme , most of the students i.e 23 (76.66%) showed adequate knowledge and about 7 (23.33%) had moderately adequate knowledge .None showed inadequate knowledge regarding the health hazards of junk food among adolescents with a p- value of <0.5. CONCLUSION:-The findings of the present study suggest that the planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding health hazards of junk food among adolescents was found significantly effective for increasing knowledge level of adolescents.
