Background: Thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid nodules, represent significant yet under-recognized public health issues that can lead to severe health complications. This study aims to assess the awareness and knowledge about thyroid disorders among the general public in District Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, to inform future public health strategies and educational initiatives. Material & Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional survey design was used for this study, conducted between January 2024 and May 2024 in District Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. The study population included 400 adults aged 18 and above, residents of Shimla for at least 12 months. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire distributed via online platforms. The questionnaire covered socio-demographic variables and knowledge about thyroid disorders. Data analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel and Epi Info V7 Software, with results presented in frequencies and percentages. Results: The socio-demographic profile showed 30.5% of participants aged 18-30 years, 24.5% aged 31-40 years, 22.8% aged 41-50 years, and 22.3% over 50 years. Females comprised 55% of the respondents, and 54.8% were married. Hinduism was the predominant religion (85.3%), with 44.5% employed and 35% being graduates. Knowledge regarding thyroid disorders was generally high, with 80.3% aware of thyroid symptoms and 72.5% knowing the risk factors. However, gaps were identified in areas such as the role of thyroid disorders in mental health (55%) and dietary influences (64.8%). Overall, 25.5% demonstrated very good knowledge, 37.3% had good knowledge, 24.8% had fair knowledge, and 12.5% had poor knowledge. Conclusion: While awareness of thyroid disorders in Shimla is commendable, significant knowledge gaps remain, particularly regarding mental health impacts and dietary management. Public health initiatives should address these gaps through targeted educational programs and community-based interventions. Enhancing thyroid health education can improve early detection and management, leading to better health outcomes for Shimla's residents.
