Abstract

The quality of nutrition education programs is seriously being considered today. Numerous concerns have led to the investigation of underlying problems associated with ineffective nutrition education programs. The need for a nutrition component to be integrated in all educational systems became apparent immediately following the 1969 National Nutrition Survey. West Virginia was one of ten states to be surveyed and results clearly indicated that the nutritional status of the individuals under consideration was less than adequate. Vitamins A and C and iron were low in many diets among various age groups (Schaefer, 1970). Thus it was recognized that nutrition education programs already in operation must be upgraded and new programs need to be implemented.
