The structured knowledge questionnaire and structured practices questionnaire were used to collect data. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Findings: The findings reveal that majority of adolescent girls (49%) belonged to the age group of 15-16 years and were Hindu (50%). The mean pre-test knowledge score was in experimental group 12.04±3.29 and control group11.38±3.28 respectively while the mean pre-test practice score was in experimental group 12.94±2.85 and control group11.82±2.48 respectively. The level of knowledge and practice regarding prevention of UTI of subjects who were exposed to PTP was significantly better than that of the control group at 0.05 level of significance. However, there is positive correlation between pretest knowledge and practice scores of adolescent girls in both groups.
