“…The data showed that urban elderly scored more than their counterparts as they were more literate and exposed to media like television, radio, newspaper etc. Fey et al (2002) reported that knowledge scores improved in the subjects as a result of reading the monthly nutrition newsletter. Outram et al (2002) too reported a positive change in overall KAP scores in the elderly subjects through nutrition education programme.…”

Sixty elderly males aged 60-75 years were randomly selected from urban (I) and rural (II) areas of Ludhiana district belonging to low socioeconomic group. Nutrition counselling was imparted by nine individual and three group contacts for a period of three months to the subjects along with their wives. Teaching was carried out through lectures, participatory demonstrations, discussion, visual aids like charts and posters. The evaluation of the impact of nutrition counselling was extremely low on all the three components (knowledge, attitudes and practices) in both the groups during pre-test (T1). On the post-test (T2) scorers of group I improved by 1.22 times in knowledge, 1.55 times on attitudes and 1.2 times on practices, which was significantly (P£0.01) more than that of group II. The data showed that urban elderly scored more than their counterparts as they were more literate and were exposed on media like TV, radio, newspaper etc. It is suggested that the intervention programme at the community level should be multi prolonged and minimum for six months.

“…Previous evaluations of newsletters have demonstrated features and content that readers appreciate (Ruud, Betts, & Dirkx, 1993;Fey-Yensan, English, & Museler, 2002;Lancaster, Smiciklas-Wright, Ahern, Achterberg, & Taylor-Davis, 1997;Lutz, Ammerman, Atwood, Campbell, DeVellis, & Rosamond, 1989;Taylor-Davis et al, 2000). Adults with low literacy skills are reported to prefer bold headings and subheadings, definitions, and simple blackand-white line drawings that relate to the text.…”

“…Discussions with older, limited-resource adults have revealed that a two-column format is preferred with upper-and lowercase letters, and a 14-point sans serif font on light-colored paper (Fey-Yensan et al, 2002). Relevant nutrition topics for older adults include lowering fat and cholesterol, food safety, supplements, food costs, label reading, diabetes management, sodium, exercise, meal planning, and food preparation (Fey-Yensan et al, 2002;Lancaster et al, 1997). Newsletters have been shown to produce changes in knowledge, attitudes, and nutritionrelated behaviors, such as consuming more fruits and vegetables (Fey-Yensan et al, 2002;Lancaster et al, 1997;Lutz et al, 1989;Taylor-Davis et al, 2000).…”

The purpose of this study was to identify the types of nutrition newsletter content that reading clientele perceive as relevant to them in making healthy food choices consistent with sound dietary advice, and to identify ways newsletter design and wording affect the usefulness of the content. The authors conducted five focus groups with readers of nutrition education newsletters in three different regions of Pennsylvania between January and April 2003. All participants were obtaining food from their community food pantry, where newsletters are distributed by the Pennsylvania Nutrition Education Program. Major nutrition and health concerns of participants included heart disease, diabetes, dietary fat, and sodium intake. Recipes are the most highly valued portion of the newsletters. To summarize, newsletter readers indicate that effectiveness in facilitating food and nutrition behavior change is a function of the relevance, design, and practicality of the content.

There is a sharp divide between quantitative and qualitative methodologies in the social sciences. We investigate an innovative way to bridge this gap that incorporates quantitative techniques into a qualitative method, the “quanti-qualitative method” (QQM). Specifically, our research utilized small survey questionnaires and experiment-like activities as part of the question rout e in a series of five focused group interviews on nutrition education. We show how these quantitative-type activities fit naturally with our question route and contributed to testing the hypotheses within the context of the five important characteristics of focused group interviews. The innovative use of QQM in focused group interviews makes data analysis easier and more transparent and permits collection of richer, more multifaceted data in a cost-effective fashion.
