Using behavior modification in nutrition counseling.

Before initiating behavioral treatment, counselors can assess with clients the influence of environmental factors on eating by examining the components of eating behaviors: the antecedents or cues to eating, the eating behavior itself, and the consequences or rewards of eating. Setting goals for behavioral change and the use of self-monitoring records are recommended. Eating behaviors may be influenced also by modeling after others, by the client's cognitions or thoughts, and by self-perceptions of efficacy. To enhance the maintenance of eating changes, relapse prevention uses intervention strategies to help the client cope with high-risk situations.

Continuing professional learning: involvement and opinions of dietitians.

A survey of 194 registered dietitians employed full-time in the Chicago metropolitan area was conducted to determine the nature and extent of continuing professional learning. A total of 22,809 hours of continuing professional learning was reported by respondents during a six-month period, a mean of 117.6 hours per dietitian or 19.6 hours monthly. Significantly more hours were devoted to activities not eligible for Commission on Dietetic Registration continuing education credit (e.g., self-initiated learning and inservice education) than to activities which were eligible. An advanced degree was the best predictor of participation in continuing professional learning. The majority of dietitians believed that their continuing education needs were being met from a variety of sources.
