    Entire growth and development in the life of person takes place during adolescence period. In India, anaemia affects adolescents to a great extent. Special health care and guidelines in the attitudes and practices among adolescent girls with proper nutrition education on anaemia. Participatory video (PV) is a type of participatory action research which involves a group or a community in the creation of their own educational film as a form of “peer education”. The present research study was targeted to adolescent girls for nutrition education through participatory video and test the effectiveness of video. A total of 68 volunteered subjects i.e. adolescent girls studying in tenth to twelfth grade from Govt. Girls Inter College, Pantnagar, participated in the study which were divided in the three groups viz. participatory nutrition education (PNE) group (n=12), control 1 (non participatory nutrition education (NPNE) group, n=21) and control 2 (non nutrition education (NNE) group, n=35). PNE group subjects were involved in development of video so became the participatory i.e. experimental group. NPNE group only viewed the video after its development and NNE group did not receive any intervention. Ethical considerations were taken care prior to start of the study. Participatory video on street play entitled “Anaemia: A silent Killer” on causes prevention and consequences of anaemia was developed and its effectiveness was measured by improvement in knowledge, attitude and practices in PNE against controls. KAP questionnaire was developed and validated before intervention study. Pre and post test data was collected in all the three study groups before and after intervention, respectively. The findings of the study shows that the three groups in the study at pre test data were statistically non significant. After intervention through participatory video there was statistically significant difference among PNE group followed by NPNE and NNE group. PNE group outperformed among all the groups followed by NPNE and NNE group with respect to knowledge, attitude and practices regarding anaemia. This study found that participatory video was effective for the purpose of providing nutrition education on anaemia among adolescent girls. The findings in this study recommend that this participatory video may be used for alleviating anaemia among adolescent girls in the state of Uttarakhand as well as at national level at large.
