Abstract: Intestinal worms infestations are common in developing nations, particularly in tropical & subtropical regions, and they tend to occur in areas with low levels of wealth and sanitation. The present study title: “a study to assess the knowledge regarding deworming among adults in selected areas of Pune city. Objectives were to assess the knowledge regarding deworming among adults in selected areas of Pune city and to associate the finding with selected demographic variable. Intestinal worms and other types of parasitic worms can be eliminated from the body by a procedure known as deworming, which is accomplished by taking an anthelmintic treatment or pill.

The reliability of tool was done on 10 participants the value was 0.84 and tool found reliable.Result: The study mentioned above reveals that majority 54.33% of samples were having average knowledge, 41% having poor knowledge and 4.67% good knowledge. Mean score was 9.35 along with 3.51 SD.Study data show no significant association with any demographic variables.Conclusion: The present study assessed the knowledge regarding deworming among adults. The result revealed that majority of samples were having average knowledge regarding deworming. Recommendation: Similar study may be conducted larger population.
