Book Description
A high school cafeteria based nutrition education program aimed at passively positively altering attitudes and knowledge of adolescent girls was developed, implemented and evaluated. A pre-experimental pre- and post-test design was used. Subjects were pre-tested, exposed to nutrition intervention in the cafeteria consisting of signs, contests and nutrient analysis, and post-tested two weeks later. Because this was a pilot study, no control group was used. A nutrition knowledge test and attitude assessment test using a Likert-type scale were used to collect data. Results did not disprove the null hypothesis and no positive increase was noted in either attitude or knowledge.
