Key Points

This research aims to assess the acute effects of a Sustainable Nutrition course on students' sustainability awareness and knowledge of sustainable development.
Descriptive, cross-sectional design with two groups: first-time attendees (n=39) and non-attendees (n=36).
Data collected between September 2022 and January 2023 using sociodemographic survey, Sustainability Consciousness Questionnaire (SCQ-L), and Sustainable Development Awareness Scale (SDAS).
Comparison of SCQ-L and SDAS scores to evaluate knowledge and awareness.
Students completing the Sustainable Nutrition course scored significantly higher in the SCQ-L knowledge subscale (p=0.043).
Course participants showed significantly elevated scores across all SDAS subscales (economic, social, environmental) and total SDAS scores (p<0.05).
Findings suggest the course effectively enhances students' sustainability knowledge and awareness, highlighting the need for long-term training for behavior change.

Evaluates the effects of a Sustainable Nutrition course on future dietitians' sustainability awareness, suggesting curriculum inclusion is essential.
