Brief reviews of a variety of nutrition education materials are presented in this guide for nutrition educators in developing countries from the International Nutrition Communication Service. Reviews are categorized according to the following topics: nutrition for the family, maternal nutrition, young child feeding, growth monitoring, and nutrition related health problems (malnutrition, vitamin A deficiency, iodine deficiency, iron deficiency, alcohol abuse, diarrhea). Some materials were used in successful nutrition education programs such as the Indonesian Nutrition Improvement Program, the Brazilian Breastfeeding Campaign, and the Honduras Mass Media and Health Practices Project. Reviews include descriptions of the type of media, language, and material content, as well as organizations to contact for further information. Information about how materials were developed, and reviewers' assessments of materials' relevance and quality are included for selected items. Guidelines for developing scientifically and artistically effective nutrition education materials, a glossary of communications terminology, and a nutrition education game are also included.
