Food-based dietary guidelines developers faced many

challenges in several countries particularly in the developing

countries. Recently the FAO developed a template for

food-based dietary guidelines for developing countries. Three

presenters will help understand the challenges faced by the

process in US and by the countries implementing the FAO

template. A discussion involving the audience will help them understand

the development process in US and the FAO concepts

and expectations. Three debate questions will help participants

understand the insights of the development process

and identify strategies to improve the implementation of the

guidelines while targeting culturally diverse populations.

Benedictine University; Karen Plawecki, PhD, RD, LDN,

Benedictine University

How do you know if your intervention was effective? How

confident are you in your data? Effective nutrition interven

tions

start with carefully developed and designed assessment

tools. Surveys intentionally designed to measure identified

objectives substantiate reported outcomes and program eval

uation.

Learn about the survey design, measurement, man

agement

and data analysis. Apply these principles to critique

tools. Bring your own or review a sample.
