Abstract

Low-income older adults are difficult to reach with nutrition education. This study examines the feasibility of a Train-the-Trainer approach using congregate nutrition site (CNS) managers to deliver nutrition education. The study suggests that CNS managers were receptive to the role of trainer, CNS participants were satisfied with this method, and the acceptability of managers as trainers did not vary with participants' levels of risk of malnutrition. Although the sample size (53 participants and 4 managers) and convenience sampling method limit generalizability, the promising results suggest the potential benefits of this method and the need for further study.
