Results: Based on findings, the marks of cognitive – conceptual concepts such as health models, perception of health control and health importance increased after education and there was a statistically significant difference in case group after education (P=0.000). There was a significant relation between health models and perception of health importance with health behavior too (P=0.02). Also, there was a significant relation between income and health concept, perception of health control, and health behaviors (P=0.01). ANOVA indicated effect of education on promotion of health behaviors and there was significant difference (P=0.005). Findings revealed that there was a significant relation between cognitive – perceptual factors such as clinical models (P=0.04), adoption model (P=0.01) and demographic factors such as sex (P=0.03) and race (P=0.02) with health behaviors.
