Expanding the theory of planned behavior to predict fruits and vegetables consumption among a sample of women in Saudi Arabia
PBC emerged as the only direct predictor of behavior in the extended model. Moreover, this study highlighted the crucial role of PBC in translating intention into the actual consumption of fruits and vegetables among Saudi women. Family-centered strategies that strengthen women's confidence and skills in healthy meal planning may effectively bridge the intention-behavior gap.
