“…Conviction to carry out a regimen is best achieved when elements of the regimen are taught in a gradual, incremental way rather than prescribed for implementation all at once. Models developed in communication research also provide a theoretical framework for understanding diet therapy among minority patients (25). In one model, there are five stages in the process of adopting new behavior: initiation, information, evaluation, trial, and adoption.…”

Diet Therapy for Minority Patients With Diabetes

Diet therapy for minority diabetic patients must be directed to NIDDM, the most prominent form of diabetes in minority populations. Diet programs must be tailored to the cultural framework, and traditional foods with desirable characteristics can be encouraged. To teach patients about diet, educators must use educational techniques appropriate to culture and literacy of the patient and family. Single-concept messages such as "eat less fat" or "eat less food" promote learning and minimize failure. Nutrition information can be divided into sequenced manageable steps that can then be individualized to the patient's setting. No single set of exchange lists will suffice for all minority groups, nor are exchange lists themselves appropriate for all situations. To meet the needs of minority patients, nutrition educators must use a variety of tools and techniques relating to the foods of a particular ethnic group. Sound education strategies and simplified materials for NIDDM patients should also be employed. Diabetes Care 10:189-91,1988

“…Research suggests that behaviour change could be a slow and difficult process that requires reiteration and reinforcement of messages over a long span of time71415. Exposure to new information or services may result in mere knowledge acquisition and not necessarily lead to a change in attitudes or dietary behaviours.…”

Given the context that undernutrition in India co-exists with the problems of overweight/obesity and associated non-communicable diseases as well as micronutrient deficiencies, integrating nutritional concerns in developmental policies and governance is gaining significance. There are many schemes implemented to tackle malnutrition in India, but creating synergy and linking these schemes with each other to achieve a common goal are lacking. Nutrition communication can be an important component to create the synergy required to change malnourished India to malnutrition-free India. Although nutrition education/communication is recognized as a necessary component in various national nutrition programmes, there is not much evidence of distinct evaluation of these components. Only a minor proportion of community nutrition research has been devoted to nutrition education and communication. Although there are scattered efforts in experimenting with newer communication approaches and media for promoting nutrition, there is a dearth of published literature. In this review an attempt was made to critically examine the nutrition education and communication research and practice with special focus on India. This review provides a historical perspective of evolution of nutrition education and communication with an overview of communication approaches, media, methods and technologies used in various research studies and programmes as well as the lessons learnt.

“…&dquo;Communication does not occur in a social vacuum. Even when educational programs are directed at individuals, we should recognize that these individuals are members of ongoing groups&dquo;(Yarbrough, 1981, p. S23).These examples illustrate that effective dissemination of research findings provides help for families and individuals with decisionmaking for a desired outcome. The examples also demonstrate the utility of using a theoretical perspective to analyze research and plan future strategies.…”

Dissemination of Information from Home Economics Research

The dissemination of home economics research results is vital for the transfer of knowledge from the laboratory or survey to home economics practitioners. The delivery of home economics research results follows the conceptual framework of some communication theories. A foundation for dissemination of knowledge from home economics research was made through Federal legislation. Tradition ally, scholarly publications and bulletins have been used for the transmission of home economics research results. New communication technologies offer future possibilities of instant and accessible transmission of research findings for home economists. Popular media co‐authored by journalists and home economics professionals is another method of dissemination of research findings. For future dissemination of research findings, recommendations are made to: (1) study the effectiveness of methods of dissemination of results, (2) consider the popular media for dissemination of results, (3) plan for dissemination of results at the inception of the project, (4) define a network for dissemination of results in the research proposal, and (5) follow effective communication models for the dis semination of results.
