Materials And Methods: An interventional study was led in Bareilly city, Uttar Pradesh, India, among the school-going adolescents aged 10-19 years. All participants were explained about the objectives of the study, and an informed written consent was obtained from the parents or guardians of the study subjects. Data were collected, and their clearing, coding, and recoding were performed appropriately in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. After this, statistical analysis was performed using SPSS (version 23.0) for windows. The pre- and post-effects of health education on the health problems of students involved in e-learning were assessed by comparing the data and applying the paired sample Wilcoxon rank test.

The various health parameters selected for the comparison were as follows: concentration, mood, behaviour, fitness, headache, body-ache, vision problems, academic performances, body mass index (BMI), sleep cycle, and anxiety. The pre- and post-comparison of all health parameters showed a statistically significant difference.
