Randomization description
Once the list of eligible individuals is prepared and numbered consecutively, the random allocation of the 136 participants to two groups, A and B will be achieved using the method of permutation blocks and a randomization list generated by a computer (R software using a binomial distribution). Following simple randomization procedures, participants will be assigned to one of the two arms of the trial in a 1:1 ratio according to a computer-generated randomization schedule via https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomiser/v1/lists. The letter A will be considered for the intervention group, the letter B will be considered for the control group. To maintain the integrity of the study, the allocation sequence will remain hidden from the participants and researchers involved in the trial.

Intervention groups

Description
Intervention group: The intervention will be designed in such a way that the participants will first be members of one of the most common social networks. After greeting them and introducing himself, the researcher will remind them of the objectives of the research, the research team, and the schedule for completing the questionnaire. Then he will send them the link to the mobile application for installation. After 4 weeks from the start of the training, the post-test process will be done immediately and two months later. The measurement and evaluation tools will be the same in all phases before and after the intervention. The educational intervention content will be delivered to the participants over four weeks through a mobile phone application designed specifically for this purpose. The app targets to qualify housewives, aiming to educate them on three key areas - the impact of microplastics, common beliefs and attitudes towards microplastics, and strategies for managing the use of plastics. The training materials will include videos, text, and motion graphics within the app.
