1986
Molofsky, Anne J.
Abstract: A 4-month technical project addressed two important components of providing adequate nutrition to US Indian reservations: 1) the foods provided were reviewed for nutrient content, cost, and food preferences of participants, and compared the foods for satisfying the RDA's of major nutrients; and 2) an assessment was made of current nutrition education practices, available nutrition education materials, and new methods for delivering nutrition education. Following these assessments, recommendations were developed for improving the nutrient content of the foods provided and for improving the delivery of nutrition education. Background information on legislation, regulations, and organizational structure of the US Indian reservations program, the current health status of American Indians, and on the evaluation of food preferences is included. Descriptive components of the program are provided in 8 appendices. Food costs, nutritional data, and food inventories are included in the text and the appendices.
