Course description
Students successfully completing NUTR3012 will gain an understanding of the theory and practice of community and public health nutrition, and develop practical expertise related to taking action to address them including: assessing the food and nutrition needs in a community, and planning, implementing and evaluating interventions. The course uses case studies to examine policies and programs currently used in Australia and elsewhere, including the effectiveness of different strategies.
