Popis:	The Nutrition Screening Initiative tools and approaches were utilized to enhance the nutritional health of Nevada's elderly through nutrition screening, education and counseling. Participants (n = 2037) were recruited primarily from senior nutrition programs, including congregate meal sites and home health care programs. Each was screened using the “DETERMINE Your Nutritional Health Checklist.” The intensity of the intervention was then based on nutritional risk and geographic residence. Seniors at high nutritional risk who resided in rural, medically-underserved areas received the most intensive intervention. Evaluation of the program reinforces the need for multidisciplinary approaches related to nutrition and health.
