Abstract: Promoting sustainable dietary choices is a public health priority. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a nutrition education intervention using the KIDMED index among Moroccan adolescents. A before-and-after intervention study was conducted among adolescents aged 14–18 years. Sociodemographic, socioeconomic, anthropometric and dietary data were collected at baseline and adherence to the Mediterranean diet was assessed before and after the intervention using the KIDMED index. Gender differences were observed for some anthropometric parameters, with more pronounced central adiposity in girls. The mean KIDMED score increased significantly after the educational intervention (p<0.001).
