Hi Healthy Aging DPG members! I'm an RDN and working on updating an older adult nutrition resource. We (Dairy Council of CA) developed a handout designed to support conversation about how balanced nutrition supports aging. We have a print and PDF version for health professionals to share with patients: Dairy Supports Healthy Aging.
We've received feedback from providers working with different patient demographics that PDFs aren't mobile friendly and feel this would hold true for older adults. We would love your feedback on what type of resources are most useful for patient communications to encourage healthier eating choices in addition to the traditional print copy. What works well for you or what ideas do you have to make non-printed resources more practical and user-friendly? We brainstormed a few ideas and welcome your agreement or other ideas:
- PowerPoint slide deck for a class
- Short videos
- Webpage with the content
- Concise nutrition messaging to add to patient note summaries
- A printable page linking to a variety of resources through QR codes
- PDF work fine
Please feel free to reply to this thread with any thoughts, thank you!
