| Description: | Nutrition is recognised today as a major component of
health maintenance and disease prevention. For this
reason the Health Education Bureau has placed a high
priority on nutrition education in the community as a
means of improving Irish dietary patterns and food
'consumption practices. The only national level
nutrition survey in Ireland was carried out in 1946-48
and up-to-date information in this area is fragmentary.
In commissioning this study the Bureau did not
attempt to repeat the essentially biological orientation
of the earlier survey, but rather to obtain information
on current knowledge, beliefs and practices of mothers,
adolescents and older people in the area of food and
nutrition as a basis for planning specific educational
activities. Tn our opinion this study, carried out by the
Human Nutrition Unit at Trinity College, Dublin, is a
valuable source of information , not only for health
educators, but also for services and industries involved
in food production, processing and distribution. |
