Introduction: One of the major health issue among adolescentgirls is anIron Deficiency Anaemia, which
can be reduced by one of the intervention Ragi balls.
Objectives: The main objectives of the study are as follows:
1. To assesshaemoglobinlevel in adolescent girls.
2. To determine the effectiveness ofRagiballs onhaemoglobin level among adolescentgirls.
3. To find the association between pre-test haemoglobin level score with their selected demographic
variables.
Methodology: Samples werecollected by convenient sampling technique. Blood samples were taken by
using Hemocuemeter Analyzer 30.Intervention of 100gm Ragi balls were provided for 15 days.
Results: t test carried out to determine effectiveness of ragi balls, suggested that there was a significant
change inhaemoglobinlevel before and after the intervention administration (t test value was -18.190 and p
value was 0.0000 at 0.05 level of significance).
Linear regression was doneto find the association between Hblevel (pre-test) and their demographic variables
which showed that there was asignificant associationbetween Hbleveland religion (pre-test),religion P<0.000
at 0.05 level of significance. There was no significant relationship found with other demographic variables.
Conclusion: Ragi balls were effective in improvinghaemoglobinlevel among Adolescent girls.
