Nutrition education materials for pregnant teens

Article Abstract:

Printed educational materials were developed by nutrition educators at the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service and the East Carolina University School Medicine to address nutritional problems frequently encountered by pregnant teenagers and their babies. They are at high risk of nutritional deficiencies, low birth weight neonates and inadequate weight gain that could sustain them throughout their childbearing. However, the printed brochures served as effective tools in disseminating and influencing their attitudes toward food and the right food choices.
