Integrating ASA24 Into a Data-Driven Nutrition Education Intervention in Community Health Center Clinics
View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.The Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour (ASA24) dietary assessment tool showed high completion rates (88%) in a community health setting. Technological support and staff assistance facilitated data collection, indicating its potential for clinic-based nutrition research.
Area Of Science
- Nutrition science
- Health informatics
- Public health research
Background
- Dietary assessment is crucial for nutrition education interventions.
- The Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour (ASA24) dietary recall tool offers a digital solution for collecting diet data.
- Evaluating the feasibility of ASA24 in community health centers is essential for its broader application.
Purpose Of The Study
- To determine the completion rates of the ASA24 tool in a community health center setting.
- To identify the types and extent of study staff assistance required for ASA24 completion.
- To assess the sociodemographic factors associated with independent ASA24 completion.
Main Methods
- A data-driven nutrition education intervention was implemented in community health clinics.
- Completion rates of the ASA24 tool were assessed.
- Sociodemographic characteristics of participants who completed ASA24 independently versus those who did not were compared using t tests and chi-square tests.
- Participant recall attempts and staff assistance were documented.
Main Results
- Of 66 consented participants, 58 (88%) completed the ASA24.
- 61% of participants completed the ASA24 independently.
- No statistically significant differences in sociodemographic factors were found between those who completed ASA24 independently and those who did not.
- Older adults showed a nonsignificant trend toward less independent completion.
Conclusions
- The ASA24 tool demonstrated high completion rates in a community health center setting.
- Technological supports (training video, single sign-on) and on-demand staff assistance were key to successful data collection.
- The findings support the use of ASA24 with appropriate technological and human support for collecting dietary data in clinical environments.

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Efficient Information Management: NCIS is designed to manage patient information efficiently, making it easily accessible to...
An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
The first step is reassessing the client, a continuous process every time a nurse interacts with a patient, obtains new data,...
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
