title: [Evaluation of a nutritional education program in nursery schools].
abstract: A study of the impact of nutrition education was carried out in 14 nursery schools of the Rhône department for one semester as part of an awareness program. The major themes used were: the need for a balanced diet, proper meal times during the day, avoidance of excesses (sugar, fats and salt), and usefulness of bread, tap-water, etc. Parents were informed of the study during meetings with the school physician. A questionnaire dealing with dietary habits was distributed before and at a distance from the educational program, using a control group. Statistical analysis of the response allowed for an evaluation of the program's impact.
