Abstract :

 An evaluative approach – one group pre–test post–test design was used to assess the level of knowledge on prevention of RTA and its first aid management among school children before and after STP and to determine the effectiveness of STP on the same. 60 samples were selected between the age group of 9 to 11 years. In the pretest, 36% had moderately adequate knowledge and 4% had inadequate knowledge, whereas in the post test, 96% had adequate knowledge and only 4% had moderately adequate knowledge and none had inadequate knowledge. The result shows that there is significant difference as the ‘ t’ value was 23.2 which is statistically significant at the level of p< 0.05. The findings of this study could be used as a primordial prevention to reduce the risk of RTAs among children.
