To assess the effectiveness of video-assisted teaching programme regrading sexual abuse among school childrens. 4.To find out the association between pretest knowledge on video-assisted teaching programme regrading sexual abuse among school childrens. 5. To find out the association between post test knowledge on video-assisted teaching programme regrading sexual abuse among school childrens. METHODOLOGY: Current investigation involved 100 adolescents students utilizing quantitative, pre-experimental one-group pretest, and post- test research design, employing purposive sampling strategy. Sexual abuse has been evaluated utilizing a pretest followed by video-assisted teaching programme implementation. Demographic variables have been investigated employing descriptive statistics (percentage, mean, standard deviation)while correlation amongst anger scores as well as demographic variables has been vaulted by inferential statistics (paired t-test, chisquare).A post-test has been performed by applying the same scale following three weeks of employing strategies. RESULTS: The findings study aimed to measure the knowledge on Sexual Abuse among children. During current research out of 100 adolescents, Pretest Showed that among 100 students 85(85.00%) had inadequate knowledge, 13(13.00%) had moderate knowledge,2(2.00%) had adequate knowledge. Post-test Showed that among 100 students 2(2.00%) had inadequate knowledge,23(23.00%) had moderate knowledge, 75(75.00%) had adequate knowledge. Age, gender, mother's, father's educational attainment, and monthly household income are demographic variables that have a statistically significant correlation with Pretest(P<0.01. CONCLUSIONS: The research conducted at Thavanampalli High School on Sexual abuse awareness provided significant insights into knowledge as well as perceptions of students regarding this critical issue. Results revealed that while there is some understanding of the topic, many students still lack comprehensive awareness of the signs, preventive measures, and reporting mechanisms available to them.
