The internet and Nutrition Education: challenges and opportunities.
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2005Co-Authors: Johannes Brug, Anke Oenema, Willemieke Kroeze, Hein RaatAbstract:To review the possibilities of using the Internet and especially the World Wide Web (WWW) in Nutrition Education. A healthy existence is partly dependent on dietary behaviours. One way to promote health-promoting dietary habits is Nutrition Education. In the last decades several potentially important new channels for health communication and Nutrition Education have emerged, with the Internet and its WWW as the most striking example. The introduction and growth of the WWW has enabled swift and inexpensive distribution of Nutrition Education expertise and materials. Furthermore, the WWW has also been used for tailoring Nutrition Education to the personal characteristics of the user. Only few studies have investigated the effects of generic web-based Nutrition Education, while web-based computer-tailored Nutrition Education has been studied in randomised controlled trials, with promising but mixed results. Two important challenges for web-based Nutrition Education interventions are to realise sufficient exposure and to ensure sufficient source reliability and credibility. Next to the great opportunities, there are many challenges for web-based Nutrition Education. Some evidence for effects of web-based computer-tailored Nutrition Education has been reported, but more research is needed to obtain evidence for the effectiveness in real-life situations. The contribution of WK was made possible by a grant from ZonMw, The Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development; the contribution of AO was made possible by a grant from the Netherlands Heart Foundation.

past present and future of computer tailored Nutrition Education
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2003Co-Authors: Johannes Brug, Anke Oenema, Marci K CampbellAbstract:textabstractComputer-tailored Nutrition Education is an innovative and promising tool to motivate people to make healthy dietary changes. It provides respondents with individualized feedback about their dietary behaviors, motivations, attitudes, norms, and skills and mimics the process of "person-to-person" dietary counseling. The available evidence indicates that computer-tailored Nutrition Education is more effective in motivating people to make dietary changes than general Nutrition information, especially for reduction of dietary fat. The effectiveness of computer tailoring has been attributed to the fact that individualized feedback commands greater attention, is processed more intensively, contains less redundant information, and is appreciated better than more general intervention materials. Interactive technology (eg, the Internet, the World Wide Web) offers good opportunities for the application of computer-tailored Nutrition Education, and a first controlled study of Web-based computer tailoring shows promising results. However, using the Web for interactive personalized Nutrition Education also presents new challenges.

Nutrition Education for children—results and perspectives
Journal of Public Health, 2005Co-Authors: Nicole Wagner, Dirk Meusel, Wilhelm KirchAbstract:Aim Recent scientific literature reveals a tremendous change in the health status of children and adolescents caused by malNutrition and changes in general lifestyle. Thus, the crucial value of a sustainable Nutrition Education has long been recognised as a major component of public health Nutrition strategies. This paper describes a study that took several requirements for Nutrition Education programmes into account by developing and evaluating a new age-adapted version of an existing Nutrition Education programme.
