Download or read book The Effects of Nutrition Education and Exposure on Nutrition Knowledge and Self efficacy in Elementary School Children in New Richmond WI written by Kathryn F. Hoff and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focus has been put on healthy eating habits within the last few years due to an increase in obesity and other chronic diseases. Eating habits are formed at an early age, but nutrition education curriculum is not mandated in Wisconsin. Studies have shown a relationship between nutrition knowledge and self-efficacy, but little research exists on coupling nutrition education with nutrition exposure on the effect of nutrition knowledge and self-efficacy. The sample for this study was 11 third through fifth grade students at Starr Elementary in New Richmond, Wisconsin and was self-selecting. Three lessons were implemented using USDA's Serving Up MyPlate curriculum and preparation of a healthy snack in a before-school setting. Change was measured with a pre-/post-test evaluation based on lesson objectives and research questions. It was found that intervention provided change in student knowledge on nutrition and health outcomes, an increase in overall nutrition knowledge, improvements in identifying foods as nutrient dense vs. non-nutrient dense, and an increase in nutritional self-efficacy. Further research needs to be conducted with a larger, randomized sample and more lessons to determine the impact this type of education can provide.
Download or read book Dietary assessment written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. 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.

Download or read book Nutrition and the School Age Child written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The state of the art of child nutrition programs is reviewed in a collection of papers discussing nutritional contributions to school food service programs, the economics of the programs, and the relationship of nutrition education and school food service. Child nutrition has improved a great deal during the past decade. Social programs which help to protect children from malnutrition should be preserved. Better integration of all the sources of nutritional information for children is needed, and children should be assisted in developing more sophisticated ways of evaluating it. The goal can be achieved through the improvement of guidelines to good eating especially tailored to children. These guides should include relevant data which discourage the adoption of risky eating habits. Nutrition education should also emphasize lifestyle-related variables associated with disease development, such as emotional stress.

Download or read book Food Literacy written by Helen Vidgen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Intervening in Dietary Habits of African American Children written by Jessica Blom-Hoffmann and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lifelong dietary habits begin in childhood. Efforts to impact eating patterns, therefore, should be directed at young children. The school environment is ideal for teaching young children about improving healthy eating habits because large numbers of students can be targeted in a cost effective manner, and instruction is a natural part of the school day. Previous literature in the area of prevention and health promotion indicates that the provision of information alone does not effectuate positive behavioral change. Therefore, instructional practices should be supplemented with strategies that promote behavioral change. The purpose of this study was to conduct an outcome evaluation of a classroom-based nutrition education program with African-American students living in an urban environment. The Every Day, Lots of Ways: Interdisciplinary Nutrition Curriculum (EDLW; Pennsylvania Department of Education, 1996) was used to instruct students in nutrition education. The classroom lessons were reinforced with behavior change strategies during lunchtime for kindergartners and first graders. Additionally, caregiver newsletters were sent home to inform parents about nutrition messages that promote healthy life styles. Program acceptability, implementation integrity, and efficacy were examined. Students who participated in the school-based nutrition program demonstrated significant gains in knowledge relative to baseline and to control participants. Behavior change was more difficult to impact; however, interesting eating behavior changes were noted among kindergarten and first graders. The curriculum was acceptable to students, teachers, and parents. Teachers implemented the program with an acceptable degree of integrity. Finally, caregiver newsletters used to supplement the school-based activities were well received by the caregivers; however, they did not significantly impact caregivers' knowledge, nutrition attitudes or food preparation behaviors. Alternative strategies to include caregivers through partnerships in school-based health promotion programming were discussed.
