Introduction: Spontaneous abortion is one of the most common pregnancy related adverse outcomes, it is defined as premature loss of fetus and fetal attachments -completely or partially from the uterus- up to 20 weeks of pregnancy during the early weeks after conception. The highest percentage (14 percent) of total abortions was reported in the youngest age group (below the age of 20 years) in India. An experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Self Instructional Module on knowledge regarding spontaneous abortion among married women in selected areas of Pune city. Purpose of the study was to assess the effectiveness of Self Instructional Module (SIM) on knowledge regarding spontaneous abortion among married women in selected areas of Pune city
