Abstract	Aim: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured teaching program regarding prevention of substance abuse among high school students. Objectives: 1. To assess the pretest knowledge level regarding prevention from substance abuse among high school students. 2. To develop and administer a structured teaching program regarding prevention of substance abuse among high school students. 3. To determine the effectiveness of STP by comparing pretest and post-test knowledge scores regarding prevention from substance abuse among high school students. 4. To find out the association between knowledge level regarding prevention from substance abuse and selected demographic variables of high school students. Method: An evaluative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest research design was adopted for this study. A total of 50 school students were selected by the convenient sampling method. Data were collected by using a structured questionnaire. Impacted knowledge of students by using a structured teaching program on the prevention of substance abuse. Results: The present study evaluates the knowledge regarding the prevention of substance abuse and found that demographic variables, the majority of these (24 [48%]) belong to the age group of 15 years, 1 (2%) belongs to the age group of >17 years, 24 (48%) are females, and 26 (52%) are males. In residence, 30 (60%) are rural and 20 (40%) are urban and semiurban. Regarding class, 26 (52%) are in 9th standard and 24 (48%) are in 10th standard. In study 50 had inadequate knowledge in the pre-test., The overall mean percentage of knowledge in the pre-test was 24.9% with a standard deviation of 0.94. In the posttest, the overall mean percentage of knowledge was 91.8% with a standard deviation of 1.14, with a positive difference of 66.9. In the study, knowledge and association of demographic variables with the age, residence, and class they are studying are significant. Interpretation and conclusion: Analysis data shows that the post-test knowledge score is significantly higher than the pretest knowledge score at a p < 0.05 level of significance, i.e., the mean difference is 13.18. There is a significant improvement in knowledge of students regarding prevention of substance abuse. Thus, the investigator concluded that a structured teaching program is a good method of conveying information to adults, and it is very effective in order to gain knowledge.
