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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
