Nutrition
To meet the nutritional needs of infants, children, adolescents, and their families, as well as the needs of MCH professionals, The Health Information Group, with funding from the U.S. Maternal and Child Health Bureau, is developing an online nutrition curriculum, social media tools, and an electronic toolkit, based on (1) GU-developed nutrition monographs; (2) GU-developed DL curricula; and (3) other seminal MCH nutrition resources.
The curriculum will be national in scope and will be intended for MCH professionals. The curriculum will also focus on specific needs in providing nutrition counseling to at-risk populations that often include cultural, racial, and ethnic minorities.
The curriculum will be adaptable, with future funding, to provide a cost-effective, customized training mechanism for states, with content modified to accommodate state-specific nutritional needs, identified populations within the state, or mandates for interagency care coordination.
