Considering that there may be data loss, 15% more of this number (experimental group:32, control group:32) will be included. The data will be collected with Personal Information Form, Evaluation Instrument of Nutrition Literacy on Adults (EINLA) and Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition (ASHN). The data will be analysed with IBM SPSS 28 program by using independent groups t test, Mann Whitney U test. Dependent groups t test and Wilcoxon tests will be used in intragroup comparisons. Correlation analysis will be conducted to determine the correlation between scores obtained from measurement instruments. This pre-testpost-test randomized controlled study was registered to the Clinical Trials Registry and Results System with the number NCT05681117.The present study is a study protocol for a pre-test-posttest randomized controlled experimental study.
