The purpose of this study was to clarify the effectiveness of intervention on dietary education to mothers of kindergarten children. We provided the dietary education support aimed to increase in vegetable intake to mothers. The subjects were divided into 2 groups, one for intervention group (IG) and the other for not intervention group (NG). We conducted lecture on dietary education, distribution of leaflet, survey of vegetable intake for IG. As a result, the number of foods and nutrients that reduced intakes were less IG than NG. These results suggested that dietary education inhibited significant reduction of green and yellow vegetables, β -carotene, α -tocopherol and total dietary fiber intakes. There were no significant differences side dish intake frequency, dietary awareness and self-efficacy on before and after intervention in both groups. In this study, support of dietary education couldn’t promote increase in vegetable intake. It is an issue in the future that give effective support of dietary education through improvement of contents, periods, implementation methods.
