This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence is an important period of physical and cognitive development during which optimal nutrition is crucial. It is an essential time for forming preferences and habits and a key window of opportunity for influencing adult health. In West Africa, while undernutrition rates remains high, there has also been a steady rise in overweight and obesity, and an increasing share of mortality and morbidity due to diet-related noncommunicable diseases (DR-NCDs) among adolescents. f concern is that adolescents are experiencing these diseases earlier in life than previous generations. It is crucial to address adolescents’ nutrition to prevent them from carrying malnutrition into adulthood and to protect their overall health later in life.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Nutrition education solutions to worldwide nutrition problems are presented in proceedings of the Oxford Conference on Nutrition Education (Sept. 1977), jointly organized by UNESCO and the International Union of Nutrition Societies. Conferees represented a broad base of interests, indicating that nutrition education covers a very wide spectrum of educational activities. Papers discussed these aspects of the current nature and status of nutrition education in the world: how nutrition education should best be implemented; to which target populations should nutrition education be directed; what educational methods are most useful; and what information should be included. Section I examines the nutritional background of individuals, the family, the community, and developing and industrialized nations. Section II describes influences on nutrition education and training, and section III explores nutrition education in practice in various parts of the world.

But how effective are these programs? This food policy review surveys the empirical literature to assess the impact of FFE programs on the students' schooling, learning, and nutrition. It examines the economic rationale for FFEs, critically assesses the evidence on their effectiveness, identifies areas where further research is needed, and offers guidelines for future program design and use.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: School based nutrition education programmes play a critical role in promoting positive dietary change in children. Psychosocial mediators of behaviour change such as behaviour intentions, nutrition knowledge and self-efficacy motivate children to change nutrition behaviour. Aim: To develop, implement and evaluate a school based nutrition education programme (NEP) tailored to the needs of seven to nine year olds living in resource limited settings in Pretoria, Gauteng Province, South Africa. Study design: Quasi experimental without a control group. Study setting: Two resource limited primary schools in Pretoria. Study participants: Learners, aged seven to nine years, in Grades 1-3 from the two selected schools that met the inclusion criteria. Informed consent and assent were obtained. Method: The NEP was developed based on analysis of the learners’ dietary practices data as reported by the parents and learners. These data were collected as part of the situational analysis for a larger study and was availed to the researcher on completion of the data collection. The qualitative domain was employed to determine the nutrition education (NE) needs of the learners. The study then proceeded in two phases; Phase 1, which resulted in the development of the NEP and NE materials as informed by the literature review and the outcome of the situational analysis and guided by the Social Cognitive Theory, the South African Food Based Dietary Guidelines and the six steps for designing a NEP by Contento. In Phase 2, the NEP was implemented with a conveniently selected sample of Grade 1, 2 and 3 learners from the two schools (School 1 and 2). All participants received nine nutrition lessons over six weeks. The quantitative domain was employed to evaluate the effects of the NEP on the food choice intentions of Grade 1 learners, and self-efficacy and nutrition knowledge of Grade 2 and 3 learners. Outcomes were measured at baseline, at six weeks and at 12 months respectively. A modified validated Pathways knowledge, attitudes and behaviour questionnaire was used. Paired t-test evaluated the effect of the NEP on the three outcomes and the independent samples test compared the differences between the schools and gender. The ANCOVA assessed the effect of school and gender on the measured outcomes, with the pre-assessment score as the covariate. The McNemar test was used to compare differences between related percentages. The repeated measures ANOVA was used to assess the effect of time on the measured outcomes. The statistical package SPSS version 22 was used to analyse the data and a significance level of 0.05 was employed. Ethical approval was sought from the Faculties of Education and Health Sciences of the University of Pretoria (Number: D2015/ 375A). Approval was also sought from the Gauteng Department of Basic Education (DoBE), as well as the primary schools that were involved in the study. Results: Situational analysis: The situational analysis revealed that the learners had unhealthy eating habits characterised by skipping breakfast, monotonous diets and high consumption of unhealthy energy dense foods in both the school and home environments. Some food groups such as legumes were completely missing from the learners’ diets. Evaluation of the NEP: Grade 1 (n=49) and Grade 2 and 3 learners (n=108), aged seven to nine years completed the study at six weeks and at 12 months. At post-assessment (six weeks), a significant improvement in the overall food choice intentions of Grade 1 learners was observed (M=0.41974 vs. M=0.5671; P
