Data gathering instrument was a researcher-­designed valid and reliable questionnaire bases on Precede constructs. The data was analyzed by using independent T-test and Pearson correlation coefficient(p<0.05).
Results: Three point five percent have appropriate knowledge, 60.3% have favorite attitude and 67.7% have­ incorrect practice. Hydrogenated vegetable oil consumption rate is 72%.The expensive ­of unhydrogenated oil 77.9% and­ subsiding­ distribution­ of hydrogenated oil 77% are the most important enabling­ factors.­ Meanwhile, husband unwelcoming 66.2% is the most reinforcing factor that impede as an appropriale practice.
