Screening Tool
 |
Print the screening tool for use with every client OR. |
 |
Laminate a copy of the tool for repeated use. Mark the client's responses with a dry erase marker. |
Nutrition Education Modules
|
Consider using a unique color for each stage of change as displayed on the screening tools  . Example: Use pink for precontemplation/contemplation, yellow for preparation, and green for action/maintenance. Printing on red paper is not recommended because it is difficult to read. |
|
Print the lesson plan on cardstock or heavier weight paper so that it will withstand repeated use. |
 |
Print take-home materials on colored paper to match the lesson plan or print on white paper with colored graphics. Hint: When take-home materials are used for more than one module, print them on white paper. |
 |
Print materials front-to-back English/Spanish if that meets the language needs of your clients and staff. |
Organizing the Materials
|
Purchase a storage box for hanging files. |
|
Consider using hanging files in the same colors as those used for printing lesson plans and other take-home materials. |
|
Label the hanging files with the title of the module and the stage. Consider abbreviating the stages on the labels. Example: PC/C for precontemplation/contemplation, P for preparation, and A/M for action/maintenance. |
|
Store all print materials for a given module in the hanging file including the lesson plan, take-home materials, recipes, books, and other materials. |
