The significant findings regarding knowledge in pre-test among 40 samples, majority of the samples 30(75%) had moderately adequate knowledge ,9(22.5%) had inadequate knowledge and 1(2.5%) had adequate knowledge. In post-test majority of the samples 34(85%) gained adequate knowledge on hazards of beverages toxicity. The findings shows that overall mean score in pre-test was 10.9 and in post-test was 19.7 and overall mean difference was 8.8. Regarding the overall mean knowledge score the 't' value was 2.478, the 'p' value was p>0.05, which shows that highly significant.
