A Pre experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge of mothers regarding factors associated with early menarche among mothers of school going children in selected wards at Kulanada Grama Panchayath. The objectives of the study were to assess the level of knowledge , to determine the effectiveness of structure teaching programme on knowledge and to find out the association between pre test level of knowledge of mothers regarding early menarche with selected socio demographic variables. Conceptual frame work was based on Imogen M Kings Goal Attainment theory (1989). The study was conducted at Anganawadi in ward I, IV and VII of kulanada Grama Panchayath.60 mothers were selected by non probability convenience sampling. The pretest level of knowledge was assessed using structured knowledge questionnaire and structured teaching programme given. Paired ‘t’ test was used to compare the knowledge scores obtained before and after structured teaching programme. The result was found that the mean posttest score 14.67 with SD 2.78 was significantly higher than the pretest mean score 9.08 with SD 2.10 with a mean difference of 5.59. The calculated ‘t’ value 19.34 is significant at P <0.01 level with degree of freedom 59. Hence we can conclude that the structured teaching programme was very much effective in improving knowledge of mothers regarding factors associated with early menarche among school going children
