The aim of the research was to educate school-aged children about the concepts of good touch and bad touch, enabling them to protect themselves in potentially harmful situations. A quantitative research method was employed using a pre-experimental, one-group pre-test post-test design. This approach was used to evaluate the effectiveness of a video-assisted teaching program on this subject. The study included 70 school children from selected schools in Bangalore, chosen through non-probability convenience sampling based on specific inclusion criteria. A structured questionnaire was utilized to assess the children’s knowledge both before and after the intervention. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test, and the paired t-test. The findings revealed that the mean knowledge score before the intervention was 6.22±1.56, which significantly increased to 12.62±1.73 after the program. The mean score difference was 4.90, and the paired t-test value of 29.109 indicated a statistically significant improvement in knowledge at the p<0.001 level. These results suggest that the video-assisted teaching method was highly effective in enhancing children's understanding of safe and unsafe touch. The study concluded that such educational interventions significantly boost awareness and knowledge among children, as evidenced by the notable rise in post-test scores.
