Abstract

Do Right! Nutrition Train the Trainer is an 8-week series designed to educate participants on the importance of nutrition. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of program delivery in a community-based setting. Post-session evaluations were utilized to examine participant health knowledge and behaviors attained as a result of programming. Participants were African American residents who resided throughout the Greater Cincinnati Area. Post-session evaluations showed substantial knowledge/skill attainment. Program outcomes show Nutrition Train the Trainer to be an effective community-based model in delivering nutrition health education.
