title: Effect of retraining on nutrition among tribal women volunteers in Bangladesh.
abstract: Training programme on Nutrition was carried out on 42 tribal women nutrition volunteers from Rangamati, Khagrachari and Banderban districts of Chittagong Hill Tracts during July 1987 to June 1988. There were a basic training for 10 days and five retrainings of 6 days on the same group. Assessments on the level of their knowledge before and after each training were conducted by a standard questionnaire. Mean score obtained by the trainees initially was 46.28% which increased to 97.23% in the last round. Although the knowledge gain was found statistically significant in each retraining but the retention of knowledge in pre-test of each retraining was found statistically significant (P less than 0.001) upto second round (i.e. 1st retraining) and thereafter the retention was found insignificant (P greater than 0.05).
