A recent study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (JNEB), published by Elsevier, examined the impact of a Food is Medicine (FIM) and food literacy education program on rural, uninsured adults with type 2 diabetes. Findings suggest that even when educational programs are effective overall, additional cultural tailoring may be needed to ensure that all participants benefit equally.
A new University at Buffalo study finds that Americans produce similar amounts of plastic packaging waste no matter their income, education, or location. However, wealthier and more educated communities recycle significantly more. The study suggests this gap is largely due to unequal access to recycling infrastructure, making it harder for some communities to recycle effectively.
New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has highlighted the need for dedicated disability education in undergraduate nursing programs to better prepare future nurses.
A new study finds teachers tend to provide assistance to similar subsets of students when using AI-powered educational tools, rather than touching base regularly with everyone in their classes. The findings could be used to develop tools that help teachers track their classroom interactions to ensure they are giving each student the attention they need.
