Nutrition Policy Discussion Paper No 01 - Nutrition Education: A State-of-the-art Review

UN Standing Committee on Nutrition

Published in : 1985

Available in : English

How well or poorly does nutrition education work? Does it deal better with some nutrition problems than with others? Do some kinds of nutrition education produce better results than other kinds?

These are the sorts of questions addressed by Dr. Robert Hornik and a panel of distinguished discussants in the pages that follow. From their answers emerges a sense of change in the offing.
