CUSTOMER COMMENTS
Kathy Isoldi: "The review of all models regarding communication/counseling was very valuable, as well as all the information offered to consider when preparing a presentation."
Michelle Kofoed: "Understanding different types of counseling - I would love to learn more about this. I also really enjoyed the points on developing effective handouts/written material."
Elizabeth Bertrand: "This is a very thoughtful, well outlined, relatable, and practical book on behavior change for nutrition educators/health professionals."
Jacqueline Kaetzel: "Theories and models used in nutrition behavior were helpful to better understand needing to understand how people behave the way the way they do. Stages of changes were helpful to learn about."

OVERVIEW AND INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Facilitating Behavior Change with Evidence-Based Nutrition Education Strategies, a self-directed, accredited, learning program.
Nutrition and dietetics practitioners often graduate knowing all about the biochemical science of nutrition, but very little about behavioral science or applications of nutrition. Many of us end up working in community programs and are expected to educate clients, develop nutrition education materials, and develop theory-based interventions; yet, we receive little training on how to accomplish these tasks. How should we communicate with our audience? What should a brochure look like? How do we use a printed piece with different population groups? How could we reach specific population groups more effectively and impact their dietary behaviors? This learning program was developed to answer a number of these questions and many others to help you, the nutrition professional, better serve your clients and program participants. Please note that this learning program does not discuss program evaluation. To thoroughly cover all facets of program evaluation requires a learning program on its own.
This learning program is divided into two parts. Part I introduces you to the principles of nutrition education. Part II provides you with practical information to help you develop and evaluate print materials and other educational tools.
This level 2 learning program is designed to help you earn 20 Continuing Professional Education Units (CPEUs). To get the most benefit from this program, we suggest you adhere to the following steps:
Step 1: Review the objectives for the CPE program.
Step 2: Study each chapter. As you read, think of patients from your own practice who fit the situation described.
Step 3: Assess what you have learned by answering the self-assessment questions and compare your answers to the answer key at the end of this program. Once you scored at least 80% correct go to our website http://www.easycpecredits.com and click on the link Submit Reporting Form to submit your Continuing Professional Education Reporting Form and the MANDATORY Critical Thinking Evaluation Tool (CTT). You must do this before your program expires (one year from the date of your purchase). Your program registration number is T+Your Receipt Order Number, i.e T10219. You will find the order number in the email confirmation you received when you purchased your program. Fill out this form and click the submit button at the bottom of the form...it's that simple. You will get an immediate confirmation that we received your reporting form and your certificate will be emailed to you within 2-5 days to the email you provided on the reporting form.
