The pretest 54(90.0%) were having Below average knowledge, 6(10.0%) were having Average knowledge, 0(0%) were having Above average knowledge. For posttest 0(0.0%) were having Below average knowledge, 46(76.66%) were having Average knowledge, 14(23.33%) were having Above average knowledge. The mean pre-test knowledge score pretest score (m11.71+/- SD3.24) was less than the post-test knowledge score (m26 +1- SD2.94) Paired "t" value 51.35 table value: 2.023. value. computed between the pretest and posttest level of knowledge score. which was significantly at 0.05 level. So, the calculated" value is greater than tablet" value, the research hypothesis (H) is accepted. The tool used for the study was a structured learning program.
Conclusion: The study was conducted to evaluate the level of knowledge among Adolescents students studying at Sri Venkateshwara Junior college. knowledge mean score was 26 with the standard deviation 2.94 so the structured teaching program was an effective method to improve the knowledge.

NEED FOR THE STUDY
The period of adolescents is not an easy stage of life. Many physical and emotional changes take place during adolescent's period. The period of adolescents is a critical one and that has many health-related beliefs, attitudes and behaviors are adopted and consolidated [5]. During this stage of life, adolescents have increased freedom to access to health compromising substances and experiences such as alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, and sexual risk taking as well as opportunities for health-enhancing experiences such as regular exercise and a healthy diet [6]. Estimating prevalence of alcohol use in the general population range from 26-50 % of all males. The survey generally show that many people are abstainers, some are drinkers and quite a few are heavy drinkers, with tendency among those who drink to indulge in very drinking, to get drunk rather than to aid mutual social activity. Health demands on adolescents cannot be ignored since they form an important part of the human resources of our country. Habits and behaviors (Food habits, substance abuse, conflict and emotional management, sexual expression) picked up during adolescence have life-long impact [6]. But it is considered that the physical manifestations of adolescents in substance abuse include alterations in vital signs, weight loss, chronic fatigue, chronic cough, respiratory congestion, red eyes, and general apathy and malaise. The mental status examination may reveal alterations in level of consciousness, impaired attention and concentration, impaired thought processes, delusions and hallucinations misdial thoughts are also common. Males have higher incidence for both non-dependent and dependent use for all the drug categories. Females had a higher incidence of dependent toward tobacco, Alcohol [7]. A study to estimate the prevalence rate of alcohol abuse and to study its socio- demographic correlates. Alcohol consumption is higher in rural areas of India compared to urban areas. Scheduled tribes have a higher prevalence of alcohol consumption compared to other castes or tribal groups. In terms of religious groups, the percentages of alcohol consumption are approximately as follows: Hindus 20%, Muslims 5%, Christians 28%, Sikhs 23.5%, Buddhist/Neo-Buddhist 24.5%, Jains 5.9%, and others 47%. A socio-demographic profile was also included to collect information on gender, race, age, level of education, professional program, health status, employment status and distance students who stayed at the university. Result indicated that urban university students’ overall knowledge of alcohol and alcohol effects were generally low. As saying goes, today's young people are tomorrow's future. Since the increasing rate of alcoholism among the youth of our country is alarmingly high, there is an urgent need for systematic initiation of preventive health education programs on alcoholism among the youth, most of which are contributed by the student population. Hence the investigator felt the need to conduct a study to evaluate the effectiveness of health education on alcoholism for undergraduate students. Telangana stand at the top among all the southern states when it comes to Consumption of alcohol as per the study is 43.4% and out of every 100 women 7 consumes alcohol, sangareddy rural the number of substance abuse among adolescents are 50-60% and cigarette smokers and alcohol abuse is 30-40%. Therefore, the investigator planned to conduct the study among adolescents in selected colleges because of the high prevalence of the problem among adolescents. The investigator planned to give health education regarding the prevention of substance abuse [8].

Concepts: The concepts of J.W. Kenny's open system model are input, throughput, output, and feedback. The study was based upon J.W Kenny's open system model. All living systems are open in that there is continual exchange of matter energy and information. Open system has varying degree of interaction with the environment from which the system receiving input and gives back output in the form of matter energy and information for survival all systems most receive varying types and amount of information, matter of energy. Feedback may be possible, negative, or neutral. In this study the concepts have been modified as follows.
Input: According to J.W Kenny's input refers to matter, energy and information that enter the system through its boundary. In the present study the input was assessing the level of knowledge regarding prevention of substance abuse among adolescents at selected junior colleges.
Throughput: Throughput refers to processing where system transforms the energy matter and information. In this study throughput refers to the process of transferring the knowledge of structured teaching program to adolescent junior college students.
Output: It refers to the matter, energy and information that are processed. Output is the change level of knowledge regarding prevention of substance abuse among adolescents at selected junior college.

To assess the pre and post level of knowledge regarding prevention of substance abuse among adolescents at selected junior college. Data analyzed showed that 54(90%) were having below average knowledge. 6(10%) were having Average knowledge in pre-test were as in posttest 0(0%) have below average 46(76.7%) have Average and 14(23.3%) have adequate knowledge.
To compare the pre and post level of knowledge regarding prevention of substance abuse among adolescents at selected junior college. Data analyzed shows that mean post test score of knowledge 76.79 with standard deviation of 6.78 was significantly higher than the mean pre-test score of knowledge 31.08 with standard deviation of 11.11, the paired 't' value was 51.35 which was significantly at 0.05 level.
Therefore H1: There will be significantly increase in the post -test level of knowledge on prevention of substance abuse among adolescents’ students was accepted.
To compare the post level of knowledge regarding prevention of substance abuse among adolescent students. Therefore, there will be significant difference in the post-test level of knowledge on prevention of substance abuse among adolescents’ students was accepted. To find out the association between variables in post-test level of knowledge among Adolescent students with their selected demographic variables. Chi-square value showed that, demographic variables such as age, religion, educational qualification of mothers and fathers, occupation of mothers and fathers. Family income per month, resident. family size, family type, source of information on substance a therefore 114: there will be significant association between post-test knowledge on prevention of substance abuse among adolescent students with their selected demographic variable.
CONCLUSION
The study was conducted to assess the level of knowledge among Adolescent students at selected junior colleges. knowledge Mean score was 76.79 with standard deviation 6.795 so the structured teaching program was an effective method to improve the knowledge [15].
Implications in nursing: The findings of the study have been implemented in four areas such as nursing practice, nursing education, nursing administration and nursing research.
Nursing Education: Nurse educators need to provide adequate knowledge towards prevention of substance abuse among adolescent students by providing information, it can be by teaching.
