AU - Mustian, R. D. AU - Velazquez, S. T2 - Journal of Nutrition for the Elderly AB - 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.

The impact of nutrition education can be assessed by measuring change in relation to any or all of these broad variables. Unfortunately, little information is available concerning the reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change of measures used to assess these constructs with low-income audiences of adults and adolescents. This article reviews the literature and discusses the types of available measures that have been used and evaluated for the above audiences. It describes specific measures used to assess total diet, consumption of food groups from the Food Guide Pyramid, and behaviors related to weight management and physical activity. Overall, this review suggests that there is a critical need for additional development and evaluation of dietary quality measurement tools for low-income and minority audiences.
