Abstract
We conducted an evaluation of an interactive, multimedia nutrition education computer application. Changes in knowledge, attitude, and behavioral intentions were measured by pre- and postviewing surveys among a high-risk, low-income population receiving services from Maine's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). In addition, client acceptance of the application and the impact of the system on WIC clinics were explored through interviews and focus groups. Responses to 44 of 66 survey questions improved from pre- to postviewings. Client acceptance of kiosk use was favorable. Ninety-three percent of interviewed clients reported positive feelings about using the multimedia system to learn. Although many nutritionists and aides reported that using this technology has a positive impact, some lack of staff acceptance appeared to limit its use. Guidance for future development of multimedia interactive software is offered.
