Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the nutrition intervention design using behavior
change techniques (BCT) on nutrition knowledge and confidence levels among older adults.
Design: Quasi-experimental.
Methods: Nutrition knowledge and confidence levels were evaluated using a pre- and post-test.
Final scores were compared using sample t-tests and the IBM SPSS statistical software.
Setting: Congregate meal site in Ilion, NY.
Participants: 6 individuals agreed to participate in the study. Participants were recruited at the
congregate meal site in Ilion, NY between February, and March 2023.
Intervention: A nutrition intervention using BCT, including 1 group educational session and 3
cooking demonstrations lasting 15 minutes each were given to participants in a group-setting.
Results: There was no significant difference among final scores in nutrition knowledge or
confidence levels post-intervention.
Conclusions and Implications: This intervention design using BCT is not an effective way to
affect nutrition knowledge or confidence levels among participants.
