The Development and Evaluation of a Manual for Use in Community Nutrition Education Classes

<p>A manual was prepared and evaluated for use by non-professional personnel in community nutrition education. Instruction and suggestions were given for organizing these classes and techniques outlined for food demonstrations. Material was written for lectures and tests on eight nutrition topics, with visual aid suggestions, recipes and "chatter" to accompany the recipes.</p> <p>The material was tested by presenting three of the eight topics before audiences. Volunteer non-professional teacher-demonstrators gave the presentations which were evaluated by test scores from the audiences, by score forms from each teacher-demonstrator, and by evaluation sheets from the advisory committee.</p> <p>On the basis of the evaluation, it appeared that the three topics studied could be used to advantage by non-professional personnel in improving community nutrition education.</p>
