Materials & Methods: The study was conducted for about 160 participants among the pre-adult girls of selected departments Dr. N. G. P. Arts and Science college, Coimbatore. Quantitative-correlational and evaluative research approach and Pre experimental two group pre-test post-test research design was adopted among 160 pre-adult girls selected by using Non probability purposive sampling technique. Structured knowledge questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge regarding PCOS.The video assisted teaching programme was given to the experimental group for 2 weeks and then the post test was conducted to them. Results & Discussion: It is found that the VAT has increased the knowledge of PCOS from 5% of adequacy to 60% of adequacy. The effectiveness of the teaching programme assessed by paired ‘t’ test also has a significant difference in the pre and post-test knowledge at p<0.05% level of significance. It is also found that there is no significant difference in association with the control and experimental group of study and the variables used in the study using chi square test.
