The purpose of the workshop on nutrition counseling was twofold: (a) to enhance nutritionists' and dietitians' knowledge of counseling and basic interviewing skills, behavioral weight control counseling skills, and adherence counseling skills and (b) to quantitatively evaluate improvement and maintenance of the newly acquired skills. Changes in these areas indicated that it is possible to improve certain skills and to maintain those improvements over time.
