Title

EFFECT OF NUTRITION EDUCATION ON IRON-DEFICIENCY ANAEMIA RELATED KNOWLEDGE OF ADOLESCENT GIRLS

Abstract

India is home to 243 million adolescents – the most of any country. Sadly a large number of India’s adolescents are anemic- out of which 56 percent are girls. Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most prevalent deficiencies and therefore, nutrition education programs are important to make people aware about it. The present study was carried out to know the effect of nutrition education on the knowledge of adolescent girls about iron-deficiency anemia. A total of 20 girls (18 years old) were selected through random sampling and their knowledge about anemia was tested through pre and post test questionnaire. After the pre test questionnaire, nutrition education was given to all the twenty girls for four weeks through small lectures, pictorial slide presentations, booklets etc. The same questionnaire was given to the girls in the fifth week and the results were calculated in the same way. The results showed a significant difference which proved that nutrition education is an effective means to improve knowledge, food choices and dietary habits. It helps in increasing awareness and can help to combat iron deficiency anemia and ultimately help in the well being of our society.
