Freedman, Marjorie R.; Wood, Helen
Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, v43 n5 p421-423 Sep-Oct 2011
This pilot study developed and tested a tool in a group of multiethnic seniors (n = 24). The tool enabled these older adults to self-assess their stage of change regarding fruit and vegetable intake, and identified those in the preparation stage who were most likely to participate in follow-up action planning classes.
