To compare the pre-test and post test knowledge and attitude of experimental and control group. 3. To find out the correlation between knowledge and attitude of experimental and control group. 4. To find out the association between demographic variable with knowledge and attitude. HYPOTHESIS: H1: There will be significant difference between pretest and post-test knowledge and attitude of experimental group. H2: There will be significant relation between knowledge and attitude in control and experimental group. H3: There will be a significant association between knowledge, attitude and selected demographic variables. MAJOR FINDINGS: 1. The age of male in experimental group 8(26.7%) of the respondents were in the age group of less than 25 years, 8(26.7%) of the respondents were in the age group of 26-33 years, 8(26.7%) of the respondents were in the age group 34-41 years, 6(20%) of the respondents were in the age group of 42-49 years. 2. In control group 7(23.3%) of the respondents were in the age group of less than 25 years, 7(23.3%) of the respondents were in the age group of 26-33 years, 8(26.7%) of the respondents were in the age group of 34-41 years, 8(26.7%) of the respondents were in the age group of 42-49 years. 3. The majority of number of children in family in experimental group one child 33.3% and control group one child 30.0%. 4. The majority of educational status in experimental group primary school 56.7% and control group primary school 46.7%. 5. The majority of monthly income in experimental group Rs.5001-8000 50.0% and control group Rs.5001-8000 36.7%. 6. The majority of occupation in experimental group Farmer 53.3% and control group Farmer 60.0%. 7. The majority of religion in experimental group Hindu 66.7% and control group Hindu 73.3%. 8. In experimental group, the pretest level of knowledge was inadequate among 86.7% and moderately adequate among 13.3% and none of them had adequate knowledge. In post test, the level of knowledge was inadequate among 0.0% and moderately adequate among 30% and adequate among 70% of participants. 9. In control group, the pretests 86.7% of males are having inadequate knowledge regarding family planning methods. 13.3% of males are having moderately adequate knowledge and none of them are having adequate knowledge regarding family planning methods in posttest 83.3% of males are having inadequate knowledge 66.7% of males are having moderately adequate knowledge, 0.0% of males are having adequate knowledge regarding family planning methods. 10. In experimental group the pretest level of attitude 16.7% are having inadequate attitude regarding family planning methods 83.3% are moderately adequate attitude and 0.0% are having adequate attitude regarding family planning methods. In post test none of are having inadequate attitude 20.0% are having moderately adequate attitude regarding family planning methods. 80.0% are having attitude regarding family planning methods. 11. In control group the pretest 26.7% are having inadequate attitude 73.3% are having moderately adequate attitude. 0.0% are having adequate attitude regarding family planning methods. In the post test 23.3% are having inadequate attitude 76.7% are having moderately adequate attitude 0.0% are having adequate attitude regarding family planning methods. 12. STP was found to be effective in improving the knowledge regarding family planning methods among male population. 13. In the experimental group pretest knowledge mean score 7.73, SD-2.16 and in control group in mean score 7.73, SD-2.23, In the experimental group post-test mean score 16.40, SD-1.65 and in control group mean score 8.03, SD-3.01.

CONCLUSION: STP was affective to increase the knowledge regarding family planning methods among male population as per: In experimental group, none of them had adequate knowledge in the pretest, whereas during the post test, level of knowledge of the study subjects was adequate among 70%. In control group none of the participants had adequate knowledge both in pretest and post-test. In experimental group, none of the participants had adequate attitude in the pretest whereas during the post test, the level of attitude of study subjects was adequate among 24%.
