The design used in this study was quasy experiment, consist of 38 respondents drawn from SDN Ajung 2 Kalisat of 5ͭ ͪ grade students taken using simple random sampling. The collected data obtained through a close-ended questionnaire given to respondents, and were then analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank test and Mann Whitney U test with the significiance level of α≤0,05. The results of this study were that the knowledge (p=0,001) and actions (p=0,019) influenced by peer group support, but not in attitude. Peer group support was not proven significantly to change attitude (p=129). This may because that changing attitude takes time to be assesed (Notoatmodjo, 2003). All in all, peer group support can be applied as one of the methods to change the snacking behavior of school aged children.
