Details

In disease management the proverb 'prevention is better than cure' is very relevant. Awareness is the first step in prevention. Hence any materials prepared to enhance awareness constitute a potent weapon in the hands of public health personnel. Two questions are of interest. Is the post-test score significantly higher than the pretest score? Are differences uniform across subjects and years?
