Skill Area: Community Nutrition

Assignment Title: Community Nutrition Education Project

What I learned: In this assignment I learned how to build a nutrition education intervention from scratch. In the assignment it including developing a rationale, focusing on a target group, writing goals and objectives, planning for materials that would be needed, and implementation methods for nutrition education material. After the nutrition education material was implemented an evaluation was done to see the effectiveness of the material that was presented.

Reflection to assignment: This assignment gave me the knowledge to gear my nutrition education to a target group.  Writing goals and objectives helped make the nutrition education have direction and having an evaluation at the end was good feedback. I really enjoyed do my nutrition education during the cooking classes because it is something that I am passionate about. The LINKS internship I did the nutrition education project was great because I had the opportunity to take the projects that I presented and put my own twist on it.

Relevance to the profession: Community Nutrition is a very important aspect of nutrition.  The most important thing to remember when educating a group is to evaluate the stage of change that the group is in so that the education material will be affective.
