Despite its prevalence globally, there exists a research void concerning the awareness levels, types, and socio-cultural impact of color blindness in this region. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was employed to gauge color blindness awareness among 400 adults in Himachal Pradesh. A Google Form questionnaire, including socio-demographic details and 20 knowledge-related questions, was utilized. Participants were scored based on their responses, categorized into Very Good, Good, Fair, and Poor knowledge levels. Data analysis was performed using Epi Info V7 Software. Results: The study revealed varying knowledge levels, with 31.75% demonstrating Very Good knowledge, 41% Good, 16.25% Fair, and 11% Poor. Identified knowledge gaps include limited awareness of assistive technologies (16.5%) and low recognition of famous individuals with color blindness (2.75%). Region-specific insights highlighted 40.25% awareness of local initiatives supporting individuals with color blindness. Conclusion: The study underscores the need for targeted awareness campaigns, educational initiatives addressing knowledge gaps, and region-specific interventions. Findings contribute to the broader discourse on color blindness, emphasizing the importance of context-specific strategies for inclusive well-being.
