During pretest out of 60 participants, 49 (81.67%) had inadequate knowledge and 11(18.33%) had moderately adequate knowledge. Whereas in post-test only 3 (5%) had inadequate knowledge scores, 10 (16.67%) had moderately adequate knowledge scores and rest 47 (78.33%) Participants had adequate knowledge scores. The null hypothesis stated was rejected and re-stating that there is a significant difference between pre-test and post-test level of knowledge regarding healthcare services available to the eligible couples.
