5. Conclusion
The findings of our study confirm that a nutrition education intervention that is systematically planned and framed on selected theories of health behavior improved aspects of nutrition-related beliefs in self-efficacy and locus of control. Improved self-efficacy was evidenced by increased confidence in the foods that they should eat and an improved ability to secure healthy foods in the home. The intervention was also able to increase the women's beliefs in their own ability to make decisions about food (internal locus of control), empowering them to eat a healthy diet despite their limited resources.
