found sources of nutrient deficiency public domain pictures
by Alice C Henneman 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Hi Everyone, A while back, I asked for leads for pictures of nutrient deficiencies for a coworker. I'm happy to report two possible sources for those of you that might be able to use them in your programs. SOURCE ONE: My coworker, Kelly Fisher, RD, discovered an answer to her own question in the Public Health Image Library of the Department of Health and Human Services - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Website at http://phil.cdc.gov Here is some information Kelly put together for me to share with you: The web-site will take you to the home page of the Public Health Image Library (PHIL) where there is an area to search for pictures, illustrations, or videos. Down at the bottom under each picture it will discuss copyright restrictions... if it says "none," they are public domain pictures and available for anyone to use (just cite the picture according to their directions)... if there are restrictions on a picture, you'll have to contact that individual or group for permission. SOURCE TWO: After getting source one to share from Kelly, I discovered a possible second source -- the image library of the National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health at http://wwwihm.nlm.nih.gov/ These must be ordered (I couldn't determine from Web site if there was a charge -- however, there is a contact email address) and information about reproduction rights is cited as unknown for some. Hope these are helpful to everyone! Alice ........................................................................

Hello Sneeezers, I have a colleague who wants to have middle school-aged children do a paper and pencil diet assessment-type activity (no computers). She wants to adapt it for international use. I would welcome anyone out there sending me info on anything that resembles a pre-teen or teen doing some sort of diet record, iel a self assessment, ie. daily food record, following MyPyramid, etc. Any ideas welcome. Just email me at jxp54(a)psu.edu so we do not clutter the sneeze listserv. Much thanks during this busy holiday time.

by Wanda M Koszewski 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

Hi Our partners at the Nebraska Dept of Health are looking for an evidence-based, or evidence-informed curricula that might be appropriate for healthy lifestyle education (not just nutrition, but also physical activity and general wellness) for underserved women in the 40-64 age range? Curricula of course, also have to be culturally competent. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Wanda Wanda M.

Firstly, would yo be willing to share your policy. Secondly, there British Columbia has an online tool. This is Canadian but it is very accessible. Saskatchewan is going to come out with a tool but not a list. The problem with lists is that, as you know, many new foods are developed each year and food products continuously change so it is hard to keep current. ________________________________ From: sneeze_l-bounces(a)email.rutgers.edu [mailto:sneeze_l-bounces@email.rutgers.edu] On Behalf Of Hyde, Glenda Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 7:41 PM To: sneeze_L(a)email.rutgers.edu Subject: [Sneeze_l] Foods of Minimal Nutritional Value Hello all, I am serving on a school district's wellness committee. We are getting presentations and packets ready for the staff, students and parents on the new policy and how to implement it. One thing that we would like to have is a list of products that meet the national standards and could be offered in schools. Ideally, this list should be user friendly for Principals to give to their teachers, but also to groups that run the concession stands and coaches and teachers that run fund-raisers; however, if there is a comprehensive list I'd like to know about that too. I'm sure this must be a dynamic list with products being reformulated to meet the new standards; new products being developed and others that become obsolete.
