Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a dialogic reading-based nutrition education program in improving nutrition knowledge and dietary diversity among preschool children.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study uses a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design. A total of 46 children (26 in the intervention group and 20 in the control group) from two preschools in Istanbul are included. The intervention group receives an eight-week nutrition education program that integrates dialogic reading with real food exposure, sensory play, table-top activities, and parental involvement.

Data are collected using the Children Nutrition Knowledge Form, Dietary Diversity Scale, and anthropometric measurements. The study is designed to assess whether a dialogic reading-based and multi-component nutrition education program can enhance preschool children's nutrition knowledge and dietary diversity.
