This study used formative evaluation to identify channels and barriers to providing ongoing dietary guidance to pregnant teens in New Jersey. In phase one, 14 health and social service professionals participated in a focus group or interview about nutrition services for pregnant teens. Participants identified school nurses as potential providers of early and continuous dietary counseling to pregnant teen-agers, but delineated barriers to establishments and effectiveness of school-based, prenatal nutrition education. In phase two, school nurses were surveyed to assess their interest in, and perceptions of barriers to, providing nutrition education to pregnant adolescents. Two-hundred fifty-three nurses (71%) returned completed questionnaires. Results indicated that a significant proportion perceived a need for, and were interested in providing, nutrition education to pregnant students. Results from this formative research are being used to guide development of a school-based nutrition education program for pregnant teen-agers in New Jersey.
本研究采用形成性评价来确定在新泽西州为怀孕青少年提供持续饮食指导的渠道和障碍。在第一阶段，14名健康和社会服务专业人员参加了关于为怀孕青少年提供营养服务的焦点小组或访谈。参与者确定学校护士是为怀孕青少年提供早期和持续饮食咨询的潜在提供者，但描述了基于学校的产前营养教育在机构设置和有效性方面的障碍。在第二阶段，对学校护士进行了调查，以评估他们对为怀孕青少年提供营养教育的兴趣以及对障碍的看法。253名护士（71%）返回了完整的问卷。结果表明，很大一部分人认为有必要并对为怀孕学生提供营养教育感兴趣。这项形成性研究的结果正被用于指导新泽西州为怀孕青少年制定基于学校的营养教育计划。
