Objectives to assess the pretest knowledge regarding prevention of selected water borne diseases among upper primary school going children. to determine the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding prevention of water borne diseases among upper primary school going children. to find out the association between pretest knowledge scores regarding prevention of selected water borne diseases with their selected demographic variables. Methodology adopted for the study was quantitative research approach with a quasi experimental design was adopted. In this study, the sample consists of 30 upper primary school children who fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the study. The systemic random sampling technique was used for this study.
