Abstract
The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is considered to be a necessity, to overcome the challenges hindering the country from developing and in reducing the digital divide. Hence, the present study is to assess the effectiveness of the 2 D animated films, on the nutritional and health attitudes of rural women. Educating women through e – learning (EWE), a 2 D animated film was made in English and local language (Telugu), which included educational content on nutritional needs of children (0-6 years), pregnant, lactating women, common nutritional deficiencies seen among these groups, strategies to control and prevent them. It was a quasi experimental pre test – post test research design. A total sample of 130 rural women, belonging to the reproductive age group, 15 – 49 years were selected from three villages, one of which served as an experimental group (n=100) and the other acted as the control group (n=30). A standardized questionnaire developed for the study was used to assess attitude at pre and post-intervention. There was an increase in the mean attitude score from 52.87 to 70.64, after the intervention. The gain in attitude score was 17.8, for the experimental group which was highly significant (P<0.01)
