Abstract

Nutritional approaches 1n prevention, diagnosis and treatment of behavior disorders have been found promising, yet obtuse. Research regarding the relationship between nutrition and behavior has been found to be either fixated (e.g., hyperactivity) or neglected (e.g., anxiety). To address this issue, a manual was developed to provide concise information concerning multiple nutritional effects on behavior and to present a basic introduction of nutritional approaches The manual was distributed to 32 health care professionals and consumers for evaluation purposes. Based on results from the evaluations, the objective of providing education and awareness of a nutrition/behavior interaction was achieved. Implications for future use of the manual are provided. Limitations in its use and benefits of the manual are discussed
