Background: Iron deficiency anemia is associated with many problems especially during pregnancy like
expanded dangers of maternal mortality, preterm labor and low birth weight. AIM: To assess the effectiveness of
BASNEF model based health education on reduction of iron deficiency anemia among pregnant women. DESIGN:

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
