Abstract
One of a series of literature reviews on nutrition education for older adults, this article emphasizes the importance of measuring a variety of outcomes when evaluating education programs. Types of outcomes and impacts and difficulties in evaluating programs are discussed. Current findings regarding older adult nutrition education evaluation are presented. A table summarizes sixteen reports of older adult nutrition education interventions with an evaluation component. It shows the duration of intervention and follow-up, types of impacts and outcomes measured, primary intervention strategy used, race and ethnicity of the subjects, whether a behavior theory was stated, and if changes were statistically significant. Conclusions and specific recommendations regarding evaluation are featured.
