The present study was conducted to see the effect of information booklet on knowledge regarding the prevention of CAD among young adults in the selected urban community, West Bengal. The objectives of the study were to identify the effect of information booklet by the difference of knowledge scores in experimental and control group, and to find out the association between the knowledge and selected demographic variables. The conceptual framework adopted for the study was based on the general system model by Ludwing Von Bertalanffy (1968). This was a non-equivalent pre-test post-test control group design study. Sixty (60) young adults, aged 18 to 40 years, were selected by convenience sampling method, 30 in experimental group, and 30 in control group. Data was collected by structured knowledge questionnaire. The result of the study revealed that maximum number of young adults from both experimental (56.7%) and control group (43.3%) belonged to the age group of 36-40 years and most of them were female (70% and 53.3% respectively). Majority of young adults from both experimental group (36.7%) and control group (53.4%) were graduates. Mean differences between pre and post-test knowledge score in experimental group (6.73) and post-test knowledge score in experimental and control group (5.93) were found to be statistically significant as evident from corresponding ‘t’ values (‘t’29 =3.17, p≤ 0.05 & ‘t’58 =2.92, p≤ 0.05). Researcher concluded that the target intervention (information booklet) was effective to increase the knowledge of young adults. Statistically significant association was found between knowledge and education status of the young adults. The study findings have several implications for nursing service, education, administration and research. The study can be replicated on larger sample in different setting.
