Nutrition Education for School-Aged Children: A Review of Research.

PB96137344

Publication Date	1994
Personal Author	Lytle, L. A.
Page Count	98
Abstract	Articles are included with the nutrition education message originating in the school and being carried home to families, as well as messages originating in family-based interventions which are designed to influence children's eating behaviors. In addition, this review includes one article showing that a community-based intervention, with a school component, can have significant effects on adolescent food choices. This research was longitudinal, measuring a cohort over consecutive seven years. This review reports on many nutrition education programs that were implemented with multi-ethnic populations of school-aged children, a needed move in nutrition education research. Nine of the articles reviewed include at least 20% of a non-Caucasian sample. In most cases there is little mention, however, of using different intervention strategies or looking at outcome results by ethnicity.
