Abstract
Aceh Province in 2013 had 45,7% use of iodized salt in households, and slightly increased in 2015 by 57,9%. The low use of iodized salt is a factor in the lack of knowledge and behavior that is not in accordance with nutritional guidelines. Increasing iodized salt consumption is possible through the role of housewives through providing basic training. The research aims to increased mothers' knowledge, attitudes and actions about iodine content in household consumption salt through training.
