dc.description.abstractNutrition education based on using a Health Belief Model (HBM) can be effective in bringing positive change in the knowledge, attitude and practices of women of reproductive age towards pulse based diets. The success of this intervention may be due to repeated demonstrations of pulse processing and recipes, to group discussions involving peer learning and experience sharing, and to interest from the mothers regarding health benefits. Nutrition education about locally available, nutritionally rich crops such as pulses, is a promising strategy for reducing malnutrition among women in rural communities of low and middle income countries such as Ethiopia.en
