Nutrition education: a computer-based education program.

African Americans have higher than average rates of morbidity and mortality for numerous health conditions despite the improvements in overall health in the United States over the past century. Despite the proliferation of material on health promotion and health disparities concerns related to diet and health care for African Americans persist. In the present paper, the authors describe a computer-based nutrition education program designed for use with African American adults. Specific features of the program that qualify it as culturally-tailored are presented and preliminary results demonstrating success in improving nutrition in a church-based sample of 82 adults are provided.

New Jersey and MARSSIM: perfect together (well, almost).

In order to encourage the timely and efficient cleanup of sites contaminated with radioactive materials, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection revised its Sampling Procedures Manual to follow the MARSSIM (NRC 2000) methodology. This was done concurrently with the proposal and subsequent adoption of its Soil Remediation Standards for Radioactive Materials (New Jersey Administrative Code Title 7, Department of Environmental Protection, Chapter 28 Radiation Protection Programs, Subchapter 12, Soil Remediation Standards for Radioactive Materials).

Establishing a collaborative relationship with a college of nursing.

Perioperative nursing typically is a small part of nursing school curricula, which makes it difficult to recruit new graduates into the perioperative field. St Luke's Episcopal Hospital, Houston, has taken a unique approach to addressing this problem by establishing a collaborative relationship with Prairie View A&M University, Houston. This collaborative relationship introduces perioperative nursing to nursing students who may never have considered the OR as an area of practice. In addition, it provides an opportunity for students to network with perioperative nurses, and it serves as a method for recruiting new graduates to St Luke's Episcopal Hospital.
