The concept of Food Smart was developed by nutritionists and health
educators at the School of
Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
led by Assistant Professor of Nutrition,
Marci K. Campbell, Ph.D.
Dr. Campbell's research focuses on nutrition behavior change for health promotion and disease prevention. She is currently investigating:
- The effectiveness of computer-generated,
individually tailored nutrition education programs on dietary assessment
and psychosocial theories of behavior change in promoting dietary changes
for disease prevention
- The use of a lay-health advisor approach to increase embedded social support for behavior changes aimed at reducing risk factors for low birth weight in a minority community
The technology and graphics behind the program were created by People Designs, a graphic design company based in Durham N.C.
People Designs specializes in the creation of educational, training, research, and evaluation materials for educators, service providers, and researchers working in public health, social work, medicine, and other human service fields.
