Our overarching goal is to prove the benefit of a behavior change intervention designed to help older people overcome barriers associated with risk for inadequate nutrition, so that they can improve their nutritional intake of fruits and vegetables, low fat dairy, whole grains, nuts, lean meats, poultry and fish. In this proposal, as a first step, we will build on the Beneficial Bites health promotion nutrition program (developed by Dietitians in northwestern Wisconsin), to produce "Beneficial Bites for a Healthy Life" (BBHL), which uses Social Cognitive Theory to change older adults' eating behaviors to minimize risks for inadequate nutrition for older adults. We will use a pre-post design to evaluate changes in dietary behavior 1 week and 6 months after the BBHL program. Our goal is to create a program that incorporates senior-specific nutrition information and recommendations as well as behavior change principles. There currently is no proven program that includes both of these components. This project is designed to provide data for a randomized trial for later testing so that it will eventually become eligible for future federal health promotion program funding (through Older Americans Act Title IIID funding) and thus be self-sustainable across Wisconsin and the rest of the nation.
