Book excerpt: Assessment of Diabetes Nutrition Knowledge and Impact of Nutrition Education Programs on Home Economics TeachersPrinciple Investigator: Dr. Roula Barake u2013 Nutrition Department Investigator: Mrs. Fatima Ismailu2013 Nutrition DepartmentCo-investigator: Mrs. Dima AlKaed- Nutrition DepartmentBackgroundDiabetes, obesity, vitamin D deficiencies and iron deficiency anemia are among some of the many conditions prevalent across school children in Kuwait. The Ministry of Education (MoE) recognizes the importance of developing the skills of educators and improving teachersu2019 nutrition knowledge and curricula in schools, as well as the role this may play in reversing or contributing to better manage these conditions. As such, and in collaboration with the Dasman Diabetes Institute - Kuwait, the nutrition department is now working to develop a robust program assessing knowledge, improving skills and raising awareness of home economics teachers. This is the first-of-its kind program to be initiated, developed and implemented in Kuwait.AimsThe aim of this program was to assess the Diabetes nutrition knowledge of 25 home economics teachers from public schools in Kuwait, and develop a diabetes nutrition education training program then measure the impact of the program on teachersu2019 knowledge, skills and empowerment.MethodologyA program was developed to address theoretical and practical aspects of nutrition education for diabetes, obesity, anemia, celiac disease, vitamin D deficiency, healthy cooking, food label reading and bone health. Additionally, the training program was designed to develop skills in measuring waist to hip ratio, calculating body mass index (BMI) and classifying categories of obesity. Twenty-five home economics teachers attended this program, ages ranged from 30 -50 years. Participants were randomly selected from intermediate and secondary schools representing all 6 governorates of the State of Kuwait. A 3-day-per-week program over one month was delivered in different formats, interactive lectures, workshops, practical training sessions for developing skills of collecting data for research, developing skills in food label reading, measuring body mass index, waist to hip ratio, physical activity and live cooking demos. Pre-assessment and post assessment data were collected where applicable and evaluation of classes were conducted to address learnersu2019 needs and improve the program.ResultsTeachers diabetes nutrition knowledge improved significantly between pre and post intervention (7.8 u00b1 5.7, 15.7 u00b1 2.1; p

This book was released on 1980 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effectiveness of a three-hour nutrition education workshop for home economics teachers given in 18 locations in Oregon was evaluated based on responses from 138 teachers. Changes in knowledge of and attitude toward four nutrition topics (fast foods, vegetarianism, weight control, and food exchanges) were measured using questionnaires completed at the beginning of the workshop, at the end of the workshop, and one month later. Teacher background, teacher reaction to the workshop, and incorporation of workshop material into the classroom were also assessed. Statistically significant positive changes were found in both knowledge and attitude immediately after the workshop. These changes were retained to a significant degree one month later in all areas of knowledge but for only two areas of attitude (fast foods and food exchanges). Change in knowledge was not found to be related to the number of years employed, the academic degree, the length of time since a college nutrition course had been taken, the teacher's source of recent nutrition information or previous workshop attendance. Most of the teachers (88-99%) found the workshop useful, the right length of time, and at a convenient hour. Over half (51%) of the teachers who returned the final questionnaire indicated they had used workshop material in their classroom within the month following the workshop. Similar results were found when responses from 76 non-home economics teachers, who also attended the workshop, were analyzed for changes in knowledge and attitude.

This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FAO provides countries with technical support to conduct nutrition assessments, in particular to build the evidence base required for countries to achieve commitments made at the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) and under the 2016-2025 UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. Such concrete evidence can only derive from precise and valid measures of what people eat and drink. There is a wide range of dietary assessment methods available to measure food and nutrient intakes (expressed as energy insufficiency, diet quality and food patterns etc.) in diet and nutrition surveys, in impact surveys, and in monitoring and evaluation. Differenct indicators can be selected according to a study's objectives, sample population, costs and required precision. In low capacity settings, a number of other issues should be considered (e.g. availability of food composition tables, cultural and community specific issues, such as intra-household distribution of foods and eating from shared plates, etc.). This manual aims to signpost for the users the best way to measure food and nutrient intakes and to enhance their understanding of the key features, strengths and limitations of various methods. It also highlights a number of common methodological considerations involved in the selection process. Target audience comprises of individuals (policy-makers, programme managers, educators, health professionals including dietitians and nutritionists, field workers and researchers) involved in national surveys, programme planning and monitoring and evaluation in low capacity settings, as well as those in charge of knowledge brokering for policy-making.

Book excerpt: Globally, the food system and the relationship of the individual to that system, continues to change and grow in complexity. Eating is an everyday event that is part of everyone’s lives. There are many commentaries on the nature of these changes to what, where and how we eat and their socio-cultural, environmental, educational, economic and health consequences. Among this discussion, the term "food literacy" has emerged to acknowledge the broad role food and eating play in our lives and the empowerment that comes from meeting food needs well. In this book, contributors from Australia, China, United Kingdom and North America provide a review of international research on food literacy and how this can be applied in schools, health care settings and public education and communication at the individual, group and population level. These varying perspectives will give the reader an introduction to this emerging concept. The book gathers current insights and provides a platform for discussion to further understanding and application in this field. It stimulates the reader to conceptualise what food literacy means to their practice and to critically review its potential contribution to a range of outcomes.
