Abstract

Introduction. A research study was conducted to evaluate the utilization of electronic devices and their impact on the health and wellness of schoolchildren, with the objective of developing an educational brochure for students. Methodology. The study was carried out at a selected school in Bengaluru using a descriptive research design. A total of 60 students from grades 8 and 9 were selected through a convenient sampling technique. Data was collected using a self-structured questionnaire focusing on patterns of electronic device usage and related health effects. Results. The results indicated that the majority of students (95%) had a moderate level of knowledge, while only 3.3% showed adequate knowledge and 1.7% had poor awareness. The mean knowledge score was 56.66%, and statistical analysis revealed a significant association between students' knowledge and demographic variables (p<0.05). Conclusion. The study concludes that awareness among schoolchildren is limited, and recommends the implementation of structured educational programs and the distribution of informative brochures in schools.
