    Area of Science:

    • Nutrition Science
    • Public Health Communication
    • Systems Analysis

    Background:

    • Public access to reliable nutrition information is crucial for health.
    • Telephone-based services offer a accessible platform for health education.
    • Evaluating the performance of public health interventions is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the effectiveness of the Dial-A-Dietitian telephone service.
    • To evaluate key performance factors within a telephone-based nutrition information system.
    • To determine if the Dial-A-Dietitian program met its objectives.

    Main Methods:

    • A systems approach model was utilized for evaluation.
    • The model comprised five phases: inputs, interaction process, outputs, outcome, and feedback.
    • Data analysis was performed on the collected performance metrics.

    Main Results:

    • The Dial-A-Dietitian program demonstrated effectiveness.
    • Analysis indicated successful performance across the evaluated factors.
    • The systems model provided a framework for measuring program outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • The Dial-A-Dietitian program is an effective method for public nutrition information delivery.
    • The systems approach model is a viable tool for evaluating health communication programs.
    • The study supports the continued use and potential expansion of such services.
