Background: Almost all women are at risk for unintended pregnancy, and reducing unwanted pregnancy is one of the priorities for health professionals. This study was conducted in Chabahar to evaluate the impact of education on knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of urban women with high risk pregnancies.

Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled intervention study was conducted on 94 women aged 15 to 49 who got married in 2012 in Chabahar. It was a multi-stage random sampling method. Data were gathered by a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS software version 19 by using paired t-test, independent t-test and, chi- square test. Training was given by group discussions, question and answer sessions through PowerPoint presentations.

Results: According to the chi-square test, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the experimental and control groups in terms of demographic variables. The experimental groups knowledge, attitude and behaviors increased significantly compared to the pre-intervention period (p<0.05).
