Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines an adolescent as any person between age 10 and 19 yr. Adolescent girls are backbone of healthy and progressive family and thus future builders of positive health of community. The present study was conducted to know the nutritional awareness of adolescent girls of Mahabubnagar district in Telangana state. The results showed that majority of rural adolescent girls (73%) have moderate nutritional awareness and in urban areas, majority (57%) of the respondents have high nutritional awareness. The nutritional awareness of adolescent girls depends on their education, their father's occupation and mass media exposure. They need school-based nutrition education and thus, interventions should be undertaken to improve the nutritional awareness of adolescent girls in rural areas.
