    Author: Looker A, Walker S, Hamilton L, Shannon B.
    Journal: J Am Diet Assoc; 1982 Aug; 81(2):158-63. PubMed ID: 6179977.
    Abstract:
    Two nutrition education modules for inservice training of hospital food service personnel were evaluated in 16 hospitals. The modules, dealing with cardiovascular disease and diet, contained a leader's guide, a teaching package, audiovisual material, and suggested learning activities. Pretests and post-tests were used to assess knowledge gains resulting from learning sessions. Participants were divided so that one group took the post-tests before the sessions and one group after the sessions. When differences between groups were controlled, the sessions were shown to have a significant positive effect on post-test scores. Three-fourths of the participants rated the sessions as "very good" to "excellent."
