Answer to Question 1

Three types of nutrition education approaches used by various agencies and organizations include a focus on information dissemination, behavior change, and an environmental change approach.
1) An information dissemination approach to nutrition education emphasizes knowledge acquisition, increase in nutrition awareness, and how-to skills such as food preparation skills, nutrition label reading, and identification of food groups and sources of nutrients.
2) A behavior change approach to nutrition education deliberately incorporates healthful behavioral change as a primary outcome of the intervention. Psychosocial factors related to behavior are often addressed such as behavioral capabilities and self-efficacy. Behavioral modification strategies are implemented and can involve self-assessments, identification of healthful eating behaviors, goal-setting, incentives, and reinforcements.
3) An environmental change or public policy approach to nutrition education focuses on the physical, political, and socioeconomic environment impacting health behaviors. Strategies may be aimed at consciousness-raising and empowerment of individuals for community activism to change food-related public policy and the environment.
