Background: Malnutrition related diseases are posing a great threat globally, it is an increasing trend globally and India is not an exemption. The mothers have less knowledge about malnutrition and its prevention. The present study aims to assess the Effectiveness of structured teaching program regarding malnutrition and its prevention among mothers residing in selected rural areas at Bedla of Udaipur district. Method: Quantitative Pre-experimental research design was selected to conduct study. Only 64 mothers of under five children were selected as samples based on exclusion and inclusion criteria through non probability convenient sampling techniques. Results: The mean pre-test knowledge of mothers of under five children was 10.59 ± 2.19, whereas mean post-test knowledge of mothers of under five children was 20.15± 1.86. The findings revealed that structure teaching program was statistically effective (t = 36.83* p-value- 0.0001*) and the association between pre-test knowledge and selected demographic variables of mothers of under five children such as age (χ2 = 9.83, p-value -0.02*), educational status (χ2 = 15.03, p-value-0.0001*), monthly family income (χ2 = 14.16, p-value 0.002*), and previous knowledge regarding malnutrition (χ 2 =4.89, p-value- 0.02*) were statistically significant.
