A Multi-Component Behavioral Nutrition Intervention for Homebound Older Adults
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a multi-level
self-management intervention to improve nutritional intake in a group of homebound older
adults (HOAs) who are at especially high risk for undernutrition. The study will be guided
by the theoretical approaches of the Ecological Model and Social Cognitive Theory and will
use a prospective randomized controlled design to estimate whether individually tailored
counseling focusing on social and behavioral aspects of eating results in increased caloric
intake and improved nutrition-related health outcomes in a sample of 104 HOAs. The
investigators hypothesize that intervention at these levels will improve caloric intake and
indirectly improve health outcomes.
