Health and Health Care Utilization Findings from the Nutrition Services Program Outcomes Evaluation

The Title III-C Nutrition Services Program (NSP) under the Older Americans Act is intended to promote access to nutritious meals, facilitate social contact, and support family caregivers. In order to assess program effectiveness, ACL has conducted a Title III-C NSP Client Outcomes Evaluation which measures the program’s effects on a variety of key outcomes. The National Resource Center on Nutrition and Aging is hosting a webinar to discuss the results and conclusions from the evaluation.

 

The webinar will specifically cover Part II, which describes the health and health care utilization of congregate meal and home-delivered meal participants and also examines overall wellness measured using longer-term outcomes related to health and avoidance of institutionalization. Participants will learn about the importance of evaluating Older Americans Act nutrition programs, develop an understanding of the evaluation methods used, and be able to describe the results of this assessment.
