Digital nutrition intervention in Older Americans Act programs impacts knowledge and desire to participate in virtual programming

Results from this study suggest virtual nutrition education in group and individual settings was acceptable, feasible, and showed preliminary effects on knowledge and behavior among a subset of Older Americans Act clients. Future directions include long-term evaluation of virtual methods to deliver nutrition education to better serve community-dwelling older adults in ways that are sustainable, efficient, and effective for long-term health.

Abstract

Results from this study suggest virtual nutrition education in group and individual settings was acceptable, feasible, and showed preliminary effects on knowledge and behavior among a subset of Older Americans Act clients. Future directions include long-term evaluation of virtual methods to deliver nutrition education to better serve community-dwelling older adults in ways that are sustainable, efficient, and effective for long-term health.
