This study aimed to evaluate the impact of targeted nutrition education on dietary knowledge, attitudes, and practices among adults in the United Arab Emirates. A randomized controlled intervention design was used, in which participants were assigned to either a targeted nutrition education group or a general health education group. Data were collected before and after the intervention using a structured questionnaire assessing knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to functional foods. The study assessed changes in participants' understanding and behaviors following the educational intervention. The findings are expected to support the development of effective nutrition education strategies to improve dietary behaviors in the population.
