Effect of Nutrition Education on Vegetable and Legume Intake Among Households in Accra

The nutrition education intervention will be based on the Theory of Reasoned Action, Social Cognitive Theory, and the Health Belief Model to influence key behaviour change factors such as knowledge, attitudes, practices, and beliefs. Educational materials will include stickers featuring indigenous green leafy vegetables, legumes, and vitamin C-rich fruits, with information on their benefits, storage, preparation, and the importance of combining them for enhanced iron absorption. Other materials include videos, messages, and affirmative words on iron deficiency and its prevention. The intervention will be delivered to selected households in the intervention community through biweekly meetings and phone calls over six months. The control community will not receive any intervention from the researcher.
