Homemakers' food behavior practices and diet scores were compared at entrance to the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program, at graduation whenever their diets met the minimum daily nutritional requirements level, and one year following graduation. Program factors studied were type of teaching method and frequency of visits of teachers. Characteris tics of subjects studied were place of residence, educational level, age of homemaker, and age of children. The population included 225 homemakers. Food behavior practices and diet scores were maintained for all subjects after graduation. No differences occurred between entrance and graduation for subjects taught by the group method, for farm subjects, or for subjects having children in one particular age category. |
