Measuring Nutrition Literacy in Clinical Practice: Evaluating Effects Upon Providers and Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice

In brief

This study evaluates the effects of assessing patient nutrition literacy prior to an initial session with an outpatient dietitian on the patient-centeredness of the session. We will randomize 6 dietitians, 4 of whom will have access to their participating patients' nutrition literacy scores. These dietitians will use this information to better inform their interventions, and hopefully improve their patients' nutrition literacy as a result.
