Book Description
Significance: The obesity rate continues to rise in the United States. It has been reported that college students tend to practice poor dietary behaviors and experience significant weight gain during the first two years of enrollment (Brown, O'Connor & Savaiano, 2014). Establishing healthy dietary behaviors during this specific time frame may prevent excess weight gain and reduce the risk of long-term obesity related complications. Purpose/Aim: Nutrition education has been found to increase awareness of healthy food choices and positively influence self-reported dietary behavioral changes in the college population (Peterson, Duncan, Null, Roth & Gill, 2010). The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of educational messages that promote intake of healthy food items versus messages that discourage intake of unhealthy food items on food selection and body weight in first year college students. Methods: The 9-month study will recruit and randomly assign 90 subjects. Thirty participants in Group A will be educated biweekly via email on healthy food behaviors to adopt. Thirty participants in Group B will be educated biweekly via email on unhealthy food behaviors to eliminate. Thirty participants in the control group will not receive any nutrition education messages. The educational component will be generated from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020 using the recommendations for creating a shift toward healthy eating behaviors. Pre-and post-intervention height and weight measurements and food frequency data will be obtained from all participants. Expected Results/Interpretation: The food frequency questionnaires will gather data about nutrient-dense and calorie-dense food selection. A weight trend will be collected during the 9-month intervention. The impact of different nutrition education approaches will be analyzed and compared. Conclusion/Implications: The results may help determine if different nutrition education messages influence dietary behaviors and weight status in first year college students.

Book Description
FAO provides countries with technical support to conduct nutrition assessments, in particular to build the evidence base required for countries to achieve commitments made at the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) and under the 2016-2025 UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. Such concrete evidence can only derive from precise and valid measures of what people eat and drink. There is a wide range of dietary assessment methods available to measure food and nutrient intakes (expressed as energy insufficiency, diet quality and food patterns etc.) in diet and nutrition surveys, in impact surveys, and in monitoring and evaluation. Differenct indicators can be selected according to a study's objectives, sample population, costs and required precision. In low capacity settings, a number of other issues should be considered (e.g. availability of food composition tables, cultural and community specific issues, such as intra-household distribution of foods and eating from shared plates, etc.). This manual aims to signpost for the users the best way to measure food and nutrient intakes and to enhance their understanding of the key features, strengths and limitations of various methods. It also highlights a number of common methodological considerations involved in the selection process. Target audience comprises of individuals (policy-makers, programme managers, educators, health professionals including dietitians and nutritionists, field workers and researchers) involved in national surveys, programme planning and monitoring and evaluation in low capacity settings, as well as those in charge of knowledge brokering for policy-making.
