Iron intakes and serum ferritin levels in developmentally delayed children. An assessment of maternal knowledge and attitudes.

A survey conducted on a quota sample of 42 developmentally delayed children included assessment of maternal nutrition knowledge and attitudes. A 24-hour recall was combined with a two-day food record for calculation of dietary iron intakes of the children. Serum ferritin levels were used to assess subjects' iron stores. Maternal education was positively correlated with maternal nutrition knowledge, attitude toward meal planning, and stricter attitudes toward feeding children. Maternal nutrition knowledge and strictness attitudes significantly correlated with dietary iron intake. Relative feeding skills and age correlated with serum ferritin levels.

Field experience for community nutrition students.

A cooperative project was undertaken by university community nutrition students and Montgomery County, Maryland, school food service personnel. Although such projects can be extremely beneficial as learning experiences for students, care must be taken to limit their scope to the level and the time available to the students. School food service staffs cannot expect such projects to provide manpower resulting in detailed scientific studies; however, school food service programs can benefit from the observations made by students.
