Abstract

Nutrition Education provided during the school years can influence the current dietary practices. This pilot survey aimed to explore the impact of school- based nutrition education on dietary practices on college going students. A structured questionnaire was administered to 21 college students to collect information regarding their exposure to nutrition knowledge in their school years. The findings suggested that students who had received nutrition education in school generally demonstrated better nutrition awareness.
