Recognizing this, nutrition education programming is offered on a regular basis; however, levels of malnutrition risk persist at a high rate. The current study focuses on the diversity of this audience and the premise that nutrition education appropriately targeted more specifically to this audience would bring about behavior change and affect risk of malnutrition. Therefore, the current study identified the risk factors for and level of risk of malnutrition in a southern rural congregate nutrition site participant population and determined that subsets of this population are at greater risk of malnutrition than the whole. Socio-demographic characteristics were found to vary with behavioral risk factors for malnutrition. This study should be of particular interest to educators who wish to develop effective nutrition education programming by targeting older adults more specifically.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Nutrition for the Elderly}, author={McClelland, J.

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.

A telephone survey was administered to 3,737 adult members of 50 black churches from 10 rural counties in North Carolina. The survey measured demographic characteristics, knowledge and beliefs regarding cancer and nutrition, and food-frequency data related specifically to fruit and vegetable consumption. Associations between fruit and vegetable consumption and income, education, age, gender, marital status, the presence of children within the household, and awareness of the 5 A Day program were explored using descriptive and regression analyses. Food-frequency data showed a mean intake of 3.7 +/- 2.4 daily servings of fruits and vegetables within this population of rural African Americans. Twenty-three percent of the participants reported eating five or more daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Significant associations were found between fruit and vegetable intake and both age and gender (p < 0.001), with older females consuming the most and younger males consuming the least fruits and vegetables. Findings from this rural African American population parallel national studies showing that US intake of fruits and vegetables falls short of the 5 A Day guidelines. Female gender and advancing age were positively associated with fruit and vegetable intake. Study results reinforce the need to promote the 5 A Day message. Such messages may prove most beneficial if targeted toward younger adult males, whose fruit and vegetable intakes are especially low.}, number={2}, journal={NUTRITION AND CANCER-AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL}, author={McClelland, JW and Demark-Wahnefried, W and Mustian, RD and Cowan, AT and Campbell, MK}, year={1998}, pages={148–157} } @article{richardson_clement_mustian_1997, title={Reaching traditional and nontraditional extension audiences}, volume={81}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Applied Communications}, author={Richardson, J.
