ABSTRCT : Pesticides despite their known toxicity are widely used in developing countries for agricultural purposes. A study to effect of a need based health education on health problem and its prevention among the farmers exposed to pesticides in a selected rural area, West Bengal. Objectives were to assess the learning need of the health problems and its prevention among the farmers exposed to pesticides. The study was conducted in two phases. Survey approach and Pre experimental research approach one group pre-test post test design were adopted from with non probability convenience sampling (phase I), and simple random sampling followed by lottery method (phase-II). Sample size was 100 and 40 respectively. Three tools were used for data collection. Findings showed that the farmers expressed their needs above 80% in the all areas of learning need assessment. The sample characteristics from demographic proforma was evident that 50% farmers are illiterate, most of the farmers 62.5% did farming from 3 years to 6 years, whereas 67.5% farmers are using pesticide for 3years to 6 years. Knowledge scores (52.5%) samples pre test knowledge score range was within 16 - 18 and where in the post test knowledge scores (75%) samples post test knowledge score range was within 25 – 27. The‘t’ test was computed between the two means of pre test and post test knowledge scores and the t’ value (t=24.6) was more than table value (‘t’ (35) =2.03 and‘t’ (40) = 2.021p<0.05) at 0.05 level of significance at 39 df. From the chi square value it was evident that there was no significance association between pre test knowledge levels of farmers with all selected variables. .
