Abstract: Nutritional education and training are a keystone for improving eating habits, quality of life and life expectancy. An excellent opportunity to deploy nutritional education in society is by interacting with parents of schoolchildren, giving them a leading role in improving the nutrition of their children, through empowering activities. Objectives, to design and evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program on healthy eating applied to parents of schoolchildren. Methods, a nutritional education programme has been designed, implemented and evaluated to a total of 16 parents of infant and primary schoolchildren in the municipality of Avilés, Spain. The average success number in the 18 questions of the questionnaires increased from 10.7 (pre-intervention) to 15.4 (post-intervention) in the field of food knowledge; and from 7.7 pre to 15.6 post in the field of labelling knowledge. In terms of adherence to Mediterranean Diet, only one participant did not improve his score after the intervention. Thus 50% obtained a high post-intervention adherence compared to 6% pre-intervention. At first, no schoolchildren had a high adherence to Mediterranean Diet, and 35% achieved it after completing the program. Schoolchildren with low adherence decreased from an initial 60% to 10% after the intervention. The results obtained after the implementation of the program show improvements in the knowledge and diet of the participants. However, given the small sample size and the lack of an assessment of the long-term impact of the programmer, further research is needed to confirm these results.
