Background & objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver is a prevalent liver disorder that can lead to severe consequences and complications, including death. This study aimed to investigate the effect of an educational intervention based on a health belief model to prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver among women. 
Methods: This study was conducted among 110 women who sought health services in Malayer City, located in western Iran, in 2021. The participants were divided into two groups: experimental and control. The data collection tool was a questionnaire based on the health belief model and demographic characteristics. The experimental group received three one-hour training sessions through pamphlets, lectures, and group discussions. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 21, which included correlation tests, paired t-tests, and independent t-tests.
Results: A total of 110 women participated in this study, with the average age of 38.07±6.28 years. The majority of participants were middle-aged, married, housewives with academic education, middle-income, and overweight. Following an educational intervention, the experimental group showed significant improvement in perceived sensitivity, severity, benefits, guidance for internal and external action, and self-efficacy compared to the control group (p=0.01 for all constructs). Additionally, the perceived barriers score decreased after training. The experimental group also demonstrated a decrease in perceived obstacles score after training (15.2±3.9 vs. 11.2±3.3, p<0.01).
Conclusion: The study revealed that developing educational programs based on the constructs of the health belief model could prevent women from developing higher levels of non-alcoholic fatty liver.
