DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In 2004, the Institute of Medicine brought national attention to the issue of health literacy, but nutrition literacy has received little attention. Nurition education for the public is a necessary preventive measure, considering the increasing rates of overweight and obesity in the United States as well as diet-related chronic diseases. Because nutrition is so important for prevention and treatment of many diseases, health professionals need to be able to assess their patients' competency with diet-related information and skills before determining their plan of care. While tools to identify health literacy are available for us in primary care settings, these tools do not adequately assess nutrition literacy. The objectives of this research application are to produce an effective tool for measuring nutrition literacy among primary care patients with chronic illness, and to identify the extent to which nutrition literacy is associated with diet quality. We hypothesize that nutrition literacy will vary substantially among patients and will be related to dietary quality. The long-term goal of this research is to improve nutrition education as a means for improving diet quality. Specific aims of this research application seek to (Aim 1) adapt the Nutrition Literacy Assessment Instrument (NLAI) (a tool we have designed for measuring nutrition literacy) for use in a primary care population; (Aim 2) estimate the NLAI's ability to produce consistent scores (reliability) and estimate its accuracy in measuring nutrition literacy (validity); and (Aim 3) estimate the ability f the NLAI to predict diet quality (predictive validity). We anticipate that these aims will produce n effective tool for measuring nutrition literacy that can have wide application in health care and research settings.

描述（由申请人提供）：2004年，医学研究所引起了国家对健康素养问题的关注，但营养素养很少受到关注。考虑到美国的超重和肥胖症发生率的提高以及与饮食相关的慢性疾病，对公众的养育教育是一项必要的预防措施。由于营养对于预防和治疗许多疾病非常重要，因此卫生专业人员需要能够在确定其护理计划之前使用与饮食相关的信息和技能评估患者的能力。尽管在初级保健环境中可以使用识别健康素养的工具，但这些工具并不能充分评估营养素养。本研究应用程序的目标是生产有效的工具，用于测量患有慢性疾病的初级保健患者的营养素养，并确定营养素养与饮食质量相关的程度。我们假设在患者中营养素养将大大差异，并且与饮食质量有关。这项研究的长期目标是改善营养教育，以改善饮食质量。本研究申请的具体目的旨在（目标1）调整营养素养评估工具（NLAI）（我们旨在测量营养素养的工具）用于初级保健人群； （AIM 2）估计Nlai产生一致得分（可靠性）并估算其在测量营养素养（有效性）的准确性的能力； （目标3）估计Nlai预测饮食质量（预测有效性）的能力。我们预计这些目标将产生n个有效的工具，用于测量可以在医疗保健和研究环境中应用的营养素养。
