Paper Title:
Effectiveness of a Multimedia Programme on Awareness Regarding Health Benefits of Millets among People with Non-Communicable Diseases in Selected Areas of Indore District
Background: Millets are nutrient-dense, climate-resilient grains with potential benefits for people living with non-communicable diseases (NCDs), yet awareness about their health value remains limited. Objective: To assess baseline awareness regarding the health benefits of millets among people with NCDs and evaluate the effectiveness of a multimedia educational programme. Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test/post-test study was conducted among 300 adults with NCDs in selected areas of Indore District using purposive sampling. Participants completed a structured 20-item awareness questionnaire before and after the multimedia intervention. Descriptive statistics and a paired z-test were used for analysis. Results: The pre-test mean awareness score was 9.63±2.51, which increased to 18.13±2.55 after the intervention. The improvement was statistically significant (z=15.06, p<0.001). Before the intervention, 60.0% of participants had moderate awareness and 40.0% had adequate awareness; after the intervention, 57.7% achieved excellent awareness, 37.7% adequate awareness, and only 4.7% remained in the moderate category. Conclusion: The multimedia programme was highly effective in improving awareness regarding the health benefits of millets among adults with NCDs. Educational strategies using visual and audio formats may strengthen dietary awareness and support preventive community health practice.
