Background: Culinary medicine is an innovative approach to teaching health sciences students and other health professionals the basics of healthy eating, food preparation, and nutrition through applied instruction. It is hoped these professionals will, in turn, share their knowledge with patients. The University of South Alabama Mitchell Cancer Institute licensed the Tulane University’s Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine curriculum and began teaching medical, nursing, and other health sciences students as well as community members in 2017. The authors describe a collaboration between librarians and health professionals to connect with underserved community members by teaching the basics of good nutrition and healthy meal preparation.Case Presentation: Two health sciences librarians provided instruction to community members in the use of quality health information resources during various modules of the culinary medicine curriculum. Demonstrations of the use of MedlinePlus and ChooseMyPlate were conducted using topics from module content. Evaluations were distributed after each module to evaluate the effectiveness of the library component, the results of which enabled librarians to subsequently increase their instruction time and implement iPad use for more engaging participation.Conclusion: Librarians were seen as invaluable partners in this innovative program and became an integral part of the curriculum. Evaluation results helped librarians advocate for more instructional time. As a result of their involvement, librarians were given additional outreach opportunities to educate younger populations at risk of developing chronic health diseases.

AbstractMarriage at young age and lack of knowledge in parenting are among the causes of nutrition problem. The students in Santa Elisabeth Medan School of Health Sciences were found less knowledgable about it. This study aimed to analyze the influence of Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) education towards knowledge and attitude of students at Santa Elisabeth Medan School of Health Sciences 2016. This study was quasi experimental with one group pre-test and post-test design. The population was students of the Santa Elisabeth Medan School of Health Sciences. Sampling was done by purposive sampling method, which consisted of 115 students at third level of Diploma III in Midwifery. Education class was conducted four times within two weeks by using lecture and discussion methods. This study used visual media (slides) and module. The influence of education towards students’ knowledge and attitude was analyzed by paired sample t-test (p value=0.05). The results showed that only 1.7% students had high knowledge and 45.2% students had unfavorable attitudes. After nutrition education, there were 85.2% students who had high knowledge and 100% students had favorable attitudes. In conclusion, there are significant differences between students’ knowledge and attitude after SUN education given. AbstrakTingginya angka pernikahan pada usia remaja yang disertai dengan rendahnya pengetahuan tentang pola asuh merupakan salah satu pemicu terjadinya masalah gizi. Remaja merupakan orang tua masa depan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh pendidikan 1.000 hari pertama kehidupan terhadap pengetahuan dan sikap mahasiswi Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Santa Elisabeth Medan tahun 2016. Penelitian ini menggunakan kuasi eksperimental dengan desain one group pre- dan post test. Metode pengambilan sampel dengan metode purposive sampling sebanyak 115 mahasiswi tingkat III program studi Diploma III Kebidanan. Pendidikan dilakukan di kelas sebanyak 4 kali dalam 2 minggu dengan menggunakan metode mengajar dan diskusi. Penelitian ini menggunakan media visual (slides) dan modul. Pengaruh pendidikan terhadap pengetahuan dan sikap dianalisis dengan uji paired sample t-test (nilai p=0,05). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa 1,7% mahasiswi memiliki pengetahuan baik dan 45,2% sikap tidak mendukung. Setelah pendidikan kesehatan, terdapat 85,2% mahasiswi memiliki pengetahuan yang baik dan 100% mahasiswa memiliki sikap yang mendukung.

The Impact

Intake of vitamins A, C, and E was evaluated and age and time trends were assessed on the basis of 3-day weighed dietary records (n = 5121) of 2- to 18-year old boys (n = 417) and girls (n = 425) enrolled in the DONALD Study (Dortmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed Study) 1986–2001. Intake of vitamin A remains stable over time, intake of vitamin C increases linearly, and intake of vitamin E follows a nonlinear trend. Age trends of vitamins A and C (per MJ) were nonlinear with a minimum at the beginning adolescence, while intake of vitamin E (per MJ) increased linearly. Girls had higher nutrient densities but lower intakes expressed as percent of reference values. Fortified food in total had a higher impact on time trends of nutrient intake than other single food groups defined here. Our results point to the impact of the food industry on long-term nutrient intake, but also underline the necessity of nutrition education even in young age groups to improve vitamin intake.
