Nourishing minds, transforming lives: Examining the effectiveness of nutrition education in enhancing pre-diabetes awareness among rural women in Himachal Pradesh

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of a nutrition education program in improving knowledge among participants. The intervention group received structured interventions and educational activities, while the control group did not receive specific interventions. Data collected before, after 2 months, and after 4 months were analyzed to assess knowledge gains. The intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in knowledge, with gains ranging from 28.57% to 55.01% after 4 months. In contrast, the control group also showed gains in knowledge, ranging from 16.43% to 30.47% during the same period. However, the intervention group consistently achieved higher gains compared to the control group. These findings highlight the positive impact of the nutrition education program in enhancing understanding of nutrition and health-related topics. Targeted interventions are essential for promoting knowledge enhancement and healthier lifestyles.
