Finally, the data were analyzed using chi-square, t-test and paired t-test.Findings: Findings of this study showed that mean scores of the knowledge (P<0.001), attitude to action (P<0.001) and social support (P=0.030) were significantly increased in the intervention group compared to the controls after the intervention. Moreover, the number of serving intakes regarding the FRUIT and vegetable has been increased significantly in the intervention group (P<0.001).Conclusion: Our findings suggested that nutritional EDUCATION is an accessible effective tool in health promotion programs with a focus on development of healthy nutritional practices.
