The results of the study showed that 1) after participating in the program of using the nutrition symbols: healthierlogo have lower dietary sodium intake levels than before joining the program with statistical significance at p=0.007. Whereas the knowledge and perception of self-efficacy on the nutrition symbols: healthierlogo was not statistically different. 2) The experimental group perceived their mission higher in terms of credit and reduction in the amount of bullying than the control group and the amount of sodium salt in the diet was lower than the control group were statistically significant at the p < .001.
