dc.description.abstractIntroduction: WHO defines adolescence as the period of life between 10-19 years. It is a period of rapid physical and biological changes, which may lead to confusion, tension, frustration, and feeling of insecurity.Adolescence is a prime time for health promotion and to encourage them to establish healthy patterns of behavior that will influence their development and health in later years. Adolescents are at high risk for nutritional morbidity. It is seen that adolescent groups have negative attitude towards balanced diet and it was found that they were not aware of nutritional requirement, personal hygiene, menstrual hygiene, etc. Feeling this need a planned teaching programme (PTP) was conducted on reproductive health education to enable an adolescent girl to develop skill, competencies and ability to deal with varied aspects of adolescence and to attain a safe motherhood in future. Objective: To assess the impact of planned teaching programme on family life education. Methodology: The study sample consisted of 144 adolescent girls of a high school in Ankuli, Berhampur. A structured questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. Data was collected before and after planned teaching programme and it was analyzed using percentage and Wilcoxan paired sign rank test. Result: It was found that there was gain in knowledge in various aspects after conduction of PTP. Regarding nutrition the average score increased from 39.24% to 88.85% (before and after PTP respectively). Regarding knowledge of high risk behavior the score increased from 19.44 % to 82.87%. The knowledge on Anatomy and physiology of reproduction, AIDS and STD,reproductive health and personal hygiene etc also improved significantly after PTP. Conclusion: Imparting PTP on reproductive health among adolescent girls is quite effective if done in a well organized and scientific way.en_US
