Abstract Adolescents form an important and vulnerable group in the community. Lack of proper knowledge and misconceptions about HIV/AIDS make them highly susceptible to infection and social stigma. This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a Structured Teaching Programme (STP) on knowledge and attitude regarding HIV among adolescent girls in a selectEd school, Thiruchencode.
A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was adopted. The study was conducted among 60 adolescent girls selected by purposive sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used to assess knowledge and a five-point Likert scale to measure attitude. After the pre-test, a STP was administered using lecture and audiovisual aids. Post-test was conducted after seven days.
The findings revealed that the mean post-test knowledge and attitude scores were significantly higher than pre-test scores (p < 0.05). The study concluded that the STP was highly effective in improving knowledge and developing a positive attitude regarding HIV among adolescent girls.
