Nutrition education strategies for work-site wellness: evaluation of a graduate course targeted to work-site wellness majors.

A course incorporating concepts of wellness with nutrition intervention strategies was developed and targeted to graduate students in the health education and wellness program. Pretest/final test evaluations of course participants indicated significant increases in students' nutrition knowledge and confidence in their ability to perform tasks identified in the course objectives. By offering courses for future wellness professionals that emphasize nutrition education strategies and resource selection, the number and quality of nutrition-related programs offered at work sites might increase.
