Summary

This research will be conducted face-to-face with women registered at the Women's Club. Participants included in the study are expected to fill out three survey forms first. The first form includes the Descriptive Information Form, which includes questions such as age, height, weight, marital status, education, employment status, and income status; the second form includes the Food Literacy Tool; and the third form includes the Behavior Scale for Sustainable Nutrition.
