TOOLS: Two tools were used for collecting data included a structured interviewing questionnaire, and BASNEF Model Questionnaire. RESULTS: The current study indicated that there was a significant improvement in the mean score of total knowledge and total BASNEF scores in the study group post program implementation and after three months compared to the control group. Also, there was a positive statistically correlation between total BASNEF scores and hemoglobin, ferritin and hematocrit levels in the study group post program implementation and after three months (p < 0.05).
