A total of 669 under-five children, 331 and 338 from intervention and control areas respectively, were recruited for the study. Baseline data on the incidence of ARI; knowledge and attitude of mothers, and practices enhancing indoor air pollution, were recorded in both areas. The IEC materials were developed and distributed in an intervention area. Three months after the intervention, the study populations were followed once a month for six consecutive months. Base line data on incidence of ARI was 0.18 episodes per 100 child-days at risk in both areas. At post intervention assessment ARI incidence was lower in the intervention area but the difference was not statistically significant (0.32 Vs 0.37 episodes per 100 child-days). Maternal knowledge on cause of ARI and attitude towards indoor air pollution and ill health were significantly improved in the intervention area but not the change in practice. Further studies with the use of IEC materials coupled with other behavioural impact approaches may enhance the change in practice and reduction of ARI incidence.
