Background information on the importance of nutrition information to other health-related topics will be included, and resources for locating nutrition-related statistics and evidence-based practice will also be identified.

At the conclusion of the class, participants will be able to meet the following objectives.

  • understand the relationship of the topic of nutrition to health outcomes, diseases, and conditions
  • gain a basic understanding of nutrition vocabulary and identify sources for definitions of relevant terms
  • identify important Internet sites for locating nutrition information
