Abstract

Introduction: SANE stands for sanitation, addiction, nutrition and environment conservation awareness campaign, it is a community driven project mainly conducted for the adolescents from 10-19 years in the Medhar block area, Mysuru.A systematic combination of all these components into a single campaign will be required to associate all of these components of health to spread awareness among the adolescents and promote healthy behaviour. Aim: Our aim is to spread health awareness among adolescents regarding Nutrition, Sanitation, environment conservation and addictions. Methods: This study is a community based study and we did outdoor presentations and demonstrations as intervention. The intervention was done on laptop with a presentation and specimens for demonstration were included. For 8 days we covered a total of 103 kids and conducted 12 group demonstrations. The field practise area was of JSS, UHC and sample size is 42. Results: Among the 42 participants we have found that there is an increase in knowledge, attitude and practices among the participants though none of them were significant it may be attributable to the small sample size. Knowledge, attitude and practices have all shown an increase after the intervention. Conclusion: We can conclude from the above study that intervention campaigns like the above SANE is one of the most simplest and effective ways to spread health awareness among adolescents. With targeted groups and by combining components of health we can make significant progress in increasing the health status of the community
