AbstractThe Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is substantially high in India. One of the major reasons for MMR is unsafe abortion. The people are not well aware about the emergency contraception especially the college girls. They usually get married at an age of 18 to 20 years and continue their education at in-laws house. There is a real need to impart information on emergency contraception among college girls so that they can decide when to have a child and how to plan pregnancy. The objectives of the study were to develop an information booklet on emergency contraception for under graduate college girls, to asses the knowledge of college girls before and after the administration of information booklet, to seek relationship between post test knowledge scores of college girls and selected variables like subject, background subjects, educational status of parents and previous exposure to any educational program and to determine the utility and acceptability of the information booklet by the college girls. An evaluative research approach with one group pretest and post test design was used in the study. The population comprised of under graduate college girls studying at Govt. Degree College Handwara, Kashmir University. Purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample of 100 under graduate college girls.The findings of the study revealed that Mean post-test knowledge scores (38.58) of college girls were found to be significantly higher than their mean pre-test knowledge scores (14.1).The information booklet was found to be effective in enhancing the knowledge of college girls on emergency contraception.The information booklet had high acceptability and utility among college girls.
