In the last 10 to 15 years, nutrition has become a major component of health promotion and chronic disease prevention. Two widely recommended strategies for incorporating nutrition education directed toward children and youth into health promotion and disease prevention efforts are school-based nutrition education and the integration of nutritional care into health care. School-based nutrition education programs targeted toward very specific eating behaviors are showing very promising results in regard to behavior and attitude change of children and adolescents. Substantial changes in health care providers' attitudes and practices and in the funding and financing of health care will be needed if nutrition education delivered in the context of routine health care is to be a major force in health promotion and disease prevention for youth.
在过去10至15年里，营养已成为健康促进和慢性病预防的一个主要组成部分。将针对儿童和青少年的营养教育纳入健康促进和疾病预防工作的两个广泛推荐的策略是学校营养教育以及将营养护理纳入医疗保健。针对非常具体饮食行为的学校营养教育项目在儿童和青少年的行为及态度改变方面显示出非常有前景的结果。如果在常规医疗保健背景下提供的营养教育要成为促进青少年健康和预防疾病的一股主要力量，就需要医疗保健提供者的态度和做法以及医疗保健的资金投入发生重大变化。
