Abstract Background: Over 2 billion world people suffer from iron deficiency. Teenager girls are one of vulnerable groups in this area. Health education with various methods is a suitable tool for motivating and modifying incorrect function. The purpose of this research was determining the effect of health education program base on PRECEDE Model for controlling iron- deficiency anemia. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental and two-phase study was done on 72 students placed into case and control groups in 2007-8. Intervention was done in three sections with 45 minutes and 3 months after educational intervention was followed. Questionnaire base on PRECEDE Model parts and blood lab exams (Hb, Hct, Feritin) were data gathering tool. Data were analyzed by pair T- test, independent T- test, Mann- Whitney and Chi- square tests. Results: The mean score of knowledge (p<0.001) and attitude (p<0.001) (Predisposing factors), Using educational resources, taking place educational class and participating in educational programs (Enabling factors), encourage family and teachers (Reinforcing factors) and iron deficiency anemia preventive behaviors had a significant increase in the case group after the educational intervention. Conclusion: Above results indicate positive effect of educational intervention program base on PRECEDE Model and main components (Predisposing, Enabling, Reinforcing factors) in improving of iron deficiency anemia preventive behaviors in the study population.

Abstract
Background: Nowadays, mothers have ceased to breastfeed due to several factors and resort to bottle-feeding or other forms of complementary feeding for their children. This results in physical and emotional problems for children, and socio-economic harms in communities. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of BASNEF model based education on successful breastfeeding in pregnant mothers referring to health centers in Arak. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was carried out with the participation of 88 pregnant women. The participants were randomly allocated to interuention and control groups. Instructions were given in four sessions on the basis of BASNEF model and behavioral objectives. Eventually, the collected data were analyzed by using statistical tests. Results: Mean scores of knowledge, attitude, enabling factors and subjective norms in the inerurntion group before and after education showed a significant difference in comparison with control group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Model-based education has positive impacts on behavior improvements. Thus, in health programs instead of applying traditional instructions, appying planned education programs based on health education models that have measurable and reliable effects is suggested.
