Strokes are one of the leading causes of long-term disability and the leading preventable cause of disability. This study focused on the prevention of strokes as 80% of the time one can prevent these strokes, so putting in place proper education on the signs of stroke is very important. Hence, Stroke education in the community has been established as an effective method of creating awareness about stroke, its warning signs and risk factors. It contributes to desired behavioral change in the high-risk population i.e. Those who have hypertension and diabetes. Thus, this study aimed to determine the baseline knowledge of high-risk population about stroke and its risk factors as well as the effect of stroke education on their stroke awareness. Aim: The knowledge regarding stroke and its management among high-risk population should improve after planned teaching. Objective: To assess pre and post test knowledge regarding stroke and its management among high-risk population after planned teaching. Material and Methods: One group pre-test post test design. 60 individuals were selected from the selected community of Mumbai. Non probability convenience sampling method was used. Data collection included use of planned teaching, self-reporting questionnaire and observation checklist. Analysis: The study concluded that the comparison between pre-test and post test knowledge scores was greater than the tabulated value therefore, there was a significant difference in the knowledge of the high-risk populations. The post test score of mean knowledge in high-risk population after planned teaching was significantly higher than the pre-test score before planned teaching, which shows its effectiveness. Conclusion: The knowledge scores depicted marked improvement after planned teaching. Implications: Planned teaching to improve the knowledge among high-risk population can be taken in nursing service and used for preventive and promotive purposes. It can also be used in communities and hospitals to spread awareness. Nursing education serve as a guideline to use planned teaching as an effective method to disseminate information, can impart knowledge to others. In nursing research tools and technique can be used for further reference, other researchers may use the suggestion and recommendation for conducting further study and findings can be added to the literature. A similar study can be conducted on a larger sample from different set up, for further generalization of results
