Nutrition education: a computer-based education program.

Abstract:

:African Americans have higher than average rates of morbidity and mortality for numerous health conditions despite the improvements in overall health in the United States over the past century. Despite the proliferation of material on health promotion and health disparities concerns related to diet and health care for African Americans persist. In the present paper, the authors describe a computer-based nutrition education program designed for use with African American adults. Specific features of the program that qualify it as culturally-tailored are presented and preliminary results demonstrating success in improving nutrition in a church-based sample of 82 adults are provided.
