Digital Photo Receivers Deliver Herbal Education for Low-income PersonsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A significant number of low-income adults, including Hispanics, use herbal products for health care purposes and rely on friends or relatives for product information. Lohse, Stotts, and Priebe surveyed 2,562 low-income caregivers in Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) clinics and found 47.7% used an average of 3.3 herbals daily for themselves, their children or both. Despite high herbal usage, educational materials that target low-income adults about the safe use of herbs are directed toward peer counselors rather than caregivers who provide herbal products to preschool-aged childr...

With over 204 million undernourished people and more than 10% of its population overweight or obese, India is confronting the double burden of malnutrition. The prevalence of these problems is partly attributable to low awareness of nutrition. Nutrition education is an accessible and effective tool for developing healthful nutrition-related practices. There is a wide array of teaching methods and communication tools—such as lectures, group discussions, flip charts, posters, and so on—that can be employed to impart nutrition education to the community. In this process, if young people, especially students, are given nut...

This issue of the Journal has several articles related to a healthful home environment. Nutrition educators can play a key role in making sure nutrition education starts at home. The article by Cullen et al shows how the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) was effective in improving dietary quality and psychosocial behaviors in low-income, primarily Hispanic, women. Although other EFNEP interventions may be effective, their effectiveness cannot be demonstrated without a similarly rigorous evaluation. Even the best EFNEP interventions cannot be effective unless clients have enough to eat. Duffy et al descr...

Diabetes is a debilitating disease that affects a disproportionate number of Hispanics.

In fact, the incidence of diabetes is increasing more rapidly among the Hispanic population than among the non-Hispanic population, and the occurrence of diabetic complications is more frequent and more severe.

Testing Theories of Dietary Behavior Change in Youth Using the Mediating Variable Model with Intervention ProgramsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions and implications: Few interventions have assessed the validity of theoretical mechanisms of dietary behavior change in youth. The variability in the design and target populations across studies makes it impossible to draw conclusions regarding the validity of theories and mediators of dietary behavior change in youth. Future intervention trials need to focus on the identification of effective procedures for mediator change and adopt a more rigorous and systematic approach to theory testing. This is likely to result in more effective interventions. (Source: Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior)
