Abstract Older Americans are at increased risk for malnutrition. Yet, health promotion efforts often fail to reach them. Studies suggest that existing channels (e.g., organized sites/systems such as churches, clubs, or schools) might be used to reach a hard-to-reach audience with information. Partners in Wellness: A Pilot Program Using a Holistic Approach to Improve the Nutritional Status of Older Adults at Congregate Nutrition Sitesused congregate nutrition sites as channels to deliver nutrition education programming to decrease the risk of malnutrition among food-stamp eligible or food-stamp recipient older adults. This paper identifies issues, both facilitating factors and barriers, in designing and conducting effective educational programming for older adults.
