Epidemiological data point to an increase of drug abuse in India, particularly among young people. This matter of deep concern and requires education programme, especially for the school population of the country. The objectives of the study were to develop an education package and conduct an education programme using education package, assess the awareness among adolescent boys regarding drug abuse and determine the difference in the awareness regarding drug abuse between pre-test and post-test among adolescents.. The population of the study consisted of 40 adolescent boys studying in class eight of two purposively selected aided schools to whom the educational package was presented to which was followed by evaluation of the programme. For evaluating the awareness, pre and post test was conducted using a self formulated questionnaire. The experimental and control groups were equitable on pre-test with no significant difference in mean knowledge scores (P=>0.05). Comparison of post-test mean Knowledge scores between two groups revealed significant difference (P=<0.05).From the above results, it is concluded that educational programmes plays a significant role in increasing awareness about drug abuse among school going adolescents. If they are aware about different preventive measures of and consequences of drug abuse, their chance of involvement in drug abuse might reduced considerably.
