Alcohol abuse poses a significant global health challenge, particularly among young adults. This quasi-experimental study investigates the effectiveness of a structured teaching program (STP) in enhancing knowledge regarding alcohol abuse among undergraduate nursing students in Bhopal, M.P., India. A sample of 60 students was randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. The results show that the STP significantly improved knowledge regarding alcohol abuse among the experimental group, with a mean post-test score significantly higher than the pre-test score and the control group's post-test score. No significant association was found between post-test knowledge scores and selected demographic variables. The study highlights the need for targeted educational interventions to address alcohol abuse among undergraduate nursing students, emphasizing the importance of incorporating comprehensive alcohol abuse education into nursing curricula. The findings have implications for nursing education, practice, administration, and research, and provide a foundation for future studies on alcohol abuse among nursing students.
