Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT According to World Health Organisation, Adolescents are defined as the period of life spanning the ages between 10-19 years. It is a vulnerable period in the human life cycle for the development of Iron Deficiency Anaemia. According to National Family Health Survey-4, 51% of women aged 15 to 49 years are anaemic in Dindigul District. The main objective of the study is to estimate personal background of the adolescent girls and to measure the attitude towards anaemia. A cross sectional study was conducted with 30 adolescent girls from the selected Government school in Palani Block, Dindigul, Tamil Nadu, India. Data was coded, analysed and presented in frequency tables and inferential statistics through SPSS version 23. The attitude statements are significant at 1% level and the adolescent girls have positive attitudes towards anaemia. Thus the study concludes that still there is a need of intervention measures to improve anaemia prevalence and nutrition education to limit Iron Deficiency Anaemia and anaemia related problems. KEY WORDS: Anaemia, Adolescent girls, Attitude, Palani Block. INTRODUCTION education and health) is a positive thing.
