The present study focuses on the design, development and standardization of print media specifically posters aimed at improving hygiene management practices among target populations. Recognizing the vital role hygiene plays in preventing communicable diseases and maintaining overall health, the study seeks to use visual educational tools to enhance awareness and promote behavioral change. Posters, as a form of low-cost and widely accessible communication, serve as a potent medium for imparting knowledge, especially in communities with limited access to digital media. The content of the posters was developed after an extensive review of existing literature and guidelines from reputed health organizations. Additionally, expert consultations were conducted to ensure the scientific validity and contextual relevance of the materials. The draft versions of the posters were pre-tested among selected respondents to gather feedback on clarity, appeal, and comprehension. Based on the feedback, necessary modifications were incorporated, and the materials were finalized. The standardized posters are intended to serve as reliable, effective educational tools that can be used by health educators, schools, and community outreach programs to foster proper hygiene practices.
