Food Served: What is the general picture and does coaching make a difference? Does it differ by care type?
Participants were asked about the food served in their programs and frequency in which they serve it (Items 22-27). See Table 5 for a general description of providers’ practices in food served at baseline and follow-up. A subsequent table, Table 6, focuses specifically on the movement from less healthy to healthier behavior (positive change).
