Abstract：Objective To evaluate the intervention effect of ethnic-sensitive health education on feeding behavior of children in poverty and ethnic minorities areas. Methods A total of 869 and 897 caregivers of preschool children in Nujiang Prefecture, Yunnan Province were sampled respectively by multi-stage random sampling from May to June 2012 and November 2015 to January 2016. The release of ethnic-sensitive health communication materials, publicity activities, and nutrition counseling through routine outpatient were included in the interventions. Chi-square test and logistic regression were adopted for statistical analysis. Results After the intervention, the proportion of preschool children who did not or less than 4 times/month eat milk, beans, meat and eggs were lower than other eating frequencies, and the differences were highly statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01). With the exception of legumes, the frequency of eating other types of food ≥5 times/week were significantly higher than those of other eating frequencies, and the differences were highly statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01). Acceptance of intervention, high family income, and parents not working outside were influencing factors of eating various types of food (OR ＞ 1, P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Health education is helpful to improve the feeding behavior of children in poverty and ethnic areas. It is suggested to take comprehensive interventions such as health education, raising family income and paying attention to left behind children.
