A "Hard and Soft Tick" auto-tutorial that integrates basic knowledge of the parasite biology with practical aspects of tick identification, clinical presentation, pathology, disease transmission, treatment, and control was developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine. The purpose of this study was to assess impact of the auto-tutorial on parasitology test scores in four classes (1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002) of veterinary students. The analysis revealed a small but significant increase (p = 0.

Objective: : To evaluate the impact of nutrition education promoting lower dietary fat on the overall diet quality in children using a multidimensional index that measures nutrient and food intakes in relation to US dietary recommendations.
Design: : Prospective cohort study with two intervention and two control groups. Children with elevated low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol were randomized to one of two intervention groups or an at-risk control group.

Objectives: This study evaluated retention of the effect of a home-based, practitioner-initiated nutrition education model.
Methods: Children with elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels were randomly assigned to one of two nutrition interventions or to an at-risk control group. Intervention effects were evaluated 3, 6, and 12 months postbaseline.

College of Health and Human Development, Pennsylvania State University, University Park 16802, USA.
Objectives: This study compared the cost-effectiveness, from the family's perspective, of a parent-child auto-tutorial nutrition education program with that of counseling by a dietitian after identification of hypercholesterolemic children in pediatric offices.
Methods: Personnel, parent time, equipment, and laboratory costs associated with the interventions were analyzed. Reductions in dietary fat as a percentage of total calories were analyzed by means of 24-hour dietary recalls and in plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol at 3 and 12 months postintervention.

Forty students were randomly assigned into two study groups (traditional, T; and simulator, S) of 20 students each for a core operative practice laboratory. Students were randomly paired and their group assignment and identity remained anonymous to the evaluators throughout the study. Questionnaires were distributed to students to evaluate prior surgical experience and obtain learning resource use information.
