Outline of Final Research Achievements

I produced a DVD about nutrition assistance during disasters and evaluated its educational effectiveness when it was played at training program classes for registered dietitian (RD). Inquiries were sent to all the 124 four-year colleges (newly established institutions were excluded) throughout the country. Seventy-three postcards were returned in response to our inquiry (response rate: 58.9%), and 59 agreed to participate in the evaluation study (participation rate: 80.8%).　 After viewing the DVD, 92.0% of the students could correctly link disaster-related laws to the phases when they were applied.　 By listening to the experiences of RDs who worked in food service at a hospital and a school in disaster-affected areas, percentage of students who considered that "Communication ability＂ and ＂liaison with local business partners＂ were required for RDs during disasters significantly increased.
