A nested sampling design is described in which school districts are selected, schools within those districts that cover grades one through 12 are selected, and finally students within each of the grades are selected. The article describes how nutritional status information is collected from each student, economic and food expenditure data are collected from the students' parents, and information on food services is collected from district and school administrators.

Effectiveness of a nutrition program for mothers and their anemic children under 5 years of age.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) for mothers and their anemic children under 5 years of age. Sample for the study was 50 anemic children, 25 in each of two groups. The interventions (treatments) for the experimental group included individual counseling, group nutrition classes, and provision of WIC food vouchers for purchasing foods containing essential nutrients that are deficient in the diets of this high-risk population. An initial dietary assessment was done, and hemoglobin and hematocrit measurements were taken. At the end of 6 months, each participant's diet was reassessed, and hemoglobin and hematocrit measurements were again taken. Results of the study showed a 1.8 gm change in the hemoglobin measurements of the members of the experimental group and a 1.1 gm change in the hemoglobin measurements of the members of the control group.
