    Author: Trepka MJ, Newman FL, Huffman FG, Dixon Z.
    Journal: J Nutr Educ Behav; 2010; 42(3):202-7. PubMed ID: 20149752.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To assess acceptability of food safety education delivered by interactive multimedia (IMM) in a Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) clinic. METHODS: Female clients or caregivers (n=176) completed the food-handling survey; then an IMM food safety education program on a computer kiosk. Satisfaction with program, participant demographics, and change in food-handling behavior were assessed by univariate analyses. RESULTS: Over 90% of the participants enjoyed the kiosk, and most (87.5%) reported using computers a lot. Compared with participants with education beyond high school, participants with less education were more likely to report enjoying the kiosk (98.2% vs 88.1%, P = .007), preferred learning with the kiosk (91.7% vs 79.1%, P = .02), and would like to learn about other topics using IMM (95.4% vs 86.6%, P = .04). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Food safety education delivered by IMM was well accepted by inner-city WIC clinic clients, including those with less education.
