Abstract
ABSTRACT Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are one of the leading causes of death, disabilities and serious injuries among adolescents (WHO, 2018). Adolescents are the population group that presents one of the highest risks of RTA and the participation in risky driving behaviors (RDBs) can be identified as one of the main determinants of the high risk of RTA in adolescents (Williams AF, 2003). A Quasi experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of safety intervention on knowledge regarding road traffic accident among adolescent boys (16 to 18 years of age) in Government boys’ higher secondary school, Manalurpet, Kallakurichi District, Tamilnadu, India. Non equivalent control group pre test and post test design were used and total of sixty samples was selected through convenience sampling technique based on the sample collection criteria. The level of knowledge regarding road traffic accident among adolescent boys was assessed by using structured questionnaire. The study findings revealed that majority, in experimental group 28(93.3%) subjects and in control group 27(90%) subjects had inadequate knowledge. In experimental group, mean and SD value of pretest is 8.3 with 2.99 and post test value is 25.8 with 3.97. The calculated paired‘t’ value = 14.16 was found to be statistically significant at P<0.001 level. In control group pretest value of mean and SD is 8.2 with 3.25 and posttest value is 8.5 with 3.9. The calculated paired ‘t’ value = 0.87 was found to be statistically non- significant at P<0.05 level. This study concluded that the finding could be used as a primordial prevention to reduce the risk of road traffic accident among adolescent boys.
