Three Lesson Series Improves Student Confidence in Ability to Apply Evidence-Based Practice in Dietetics

Abstract

The Code of Ethics for the Nutrition and Dietetics Profession states that science-based decisions, derived from the best available evidence, are the underpinnings of ethical practice.1 Nutrition and dietetics practitioners must engage in evidence-based practice to meet professional standards and protect individual clients, the community, and the profession.1 Although the number of evidence-based nutrition guidelines continues to grow, end-user adoption of these guidelines remains a barrier to achieving consistent, evidence-based practice within the profession.
