Using computer-based assessments to evaluate interactive multimedia nutrition education among low-income predominantly Hispanic participants

Jantz, Cammy, Anderson, Jennifer, Gould, Susan Martin·2002·Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior

Abstract

Objective This research was conducted to measure the effectiveness of interactive multimedia (IMM) with low-income Hispanic persons.Design The effectiveness of the program was examined using a quasi-experimental pretest/post-test control group design.Setting Subjects were recruited from nutrition, health, and English as a Second Language (ESL) programs in Colorado.Participants Thirty-six intervention and 34 control participants formed a convenience sample of low-income and predominantly Hispanic persons.Intervention Intervention participants received a 15-minute module about breakfast. Control participants received a non- nutrition-related IMM module.Main outcome measures Primary variables included knowledge, attitude, and stage of change scores.Analysis Paired and independent sample t tests, chi-square analysis, and repeated-measures analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used.Results Intervention participants significantly increased knowledge, attitude, and total scores (P <.001) between pretest and post-test and had significantly greater increases than the control group (P <.001).Conclusions The results support using IMM to disseminate nutrition education to the target population and the feasibility of using computer-based questionnaires to evaluate the effectiveness of IMM nutrition education programs.Implications This research provides the basis for the continued development of computer-based assessment tools.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • One study's outcome exceeded the outlier threshold and was removed from analyses.

    “For one study (Jantz et al. 2002) the effect size of one outcome exceeded the outlier threshold; this outcome was hence removed from the analyses.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
