UHM FORM 1 JUSTIFICATION FSHN 456: Child Health and Nutrit ion Monitoring

1. Why is this course being requested?

Food Science and Human Nutrition (FSHN) 456, Child Health and Nutrition Monitoring, will be a new undergraduate distance course, offered as a part of the Children’s Healthy Living (CHL) Program Summer Institute housed in the Department of Human Nutrition, Food and Animal Science’s Food Science and Human Nutrition Degree program.

FSHN 456 is a part of the CHL Summer Institute. The mission of the CHL Summer Institute is to elevate the human capacity of the Pacific region to promote childhood health through formal training that is globally relevant and locally applicable. This course will aid in building the knowledge, skills and workforce capacity of individuals in Hawai‘i, the Pacific Region and beyond on topics relevant to child health surveillance and monitoring, including epidemiology and biostatistics.

2. How wil l the content be organized?

FSHN 456 will be organized into four modules, one module per set of learning objectives. Within each module there is one lesson, with varying numbers of parts that address each specific and individual learning objective. Please see the attached draft syllabus for more detail on the course structure and learning objectives.

3. What other courses at UHM closely paral lel the proposed course in what wil l the latter make a dist inct contr ibution?

Nutritional Epidemiology (FSHN 689) is the most similar course to the one being proposed, the proposed course however will be offered at the undergraduate level and on a distance platform. Nutritional Epidemiology was once offered on a yearly basis but has not been offered in the past year, since the proposed course is at the 400 level it could potentially serve graduate level students interested in expanding their knowledge on the topic. This course differs from nutrition epidemiology in that it focuses on nutrition and monitoring surveillance systems (WHO STEPS, NHANES, BRFSS, YRBSS), child diet analysis and child growth analysis. In the proposed course learners will be asked to think critically about how data from these systems could potentially contribute to a greater understanding of child health in their home community. Lastly this course teaches students how to use various software for data analysis (Pacific Food Tracker, Epi Info, Super Tracker) and evaluates their learning of these skills with hands on graded activities. In addition, no course is currently being offered in the Public Health department that focuses primarily on child health and nutrition monitoring and surveillance. Public Health courses such as 411- Nutrition and Disease Prevention and 492- Topics in Public Health incorporate aspects of nutrition in the field of Public Health, but neither primarily focus on child health, growth assessments, and the methods to conduct analysis of dietary data. The proposed course is also unique from Nutritional Epidemiology in that it is one credit hour versus three, which gives students more flexibility in taking it as an elective. Its distance offering will allow a broad reach to students and working professionals and para-professionals throughout the region.

4. Where or how does the proposed course f i t into the current and future curr iculum?

UHM FORM 1 JUSTIFICATION FSHN 456: Child Health and Nutrit ion Monitoring At this stage the course will not be a required major or degree requirement for the FSHN major. This proposed course could benefit pre-professional FSHN students as well as dietetics students who are interested in community nutrition, research and nutritional epidemiology as career pathways. However the goal of the CHL Summer Institute is to create a certificate program in Child Health in the Pacific region, which would be housed in the FSHN program. This is the long-term plan, to request an authorization to plan the certificate, once all of the CHL Summer Institute courses have approved UHM Form 1. In addition, future plans for this and other CHL Summer Institute courses are to be offered as continuing education units (CEUs) for working professionals in the region. The proposed course could support FSHN program curriculum as an elective in the future as students do not currently have an introductory level course covering topics related to nutritional epidemiology and child growth monitoring.

5. Why is the number of credits and level just i f ied?

The one unit offering is meant to increase the course’s flexibility to be taken as an elective and during the summer. The prerequisite for the course, FSHN 185 with a grade B or higher is in line with other current FSHN program prerequisites (FSHN 370), for program wide consistency the prerequisite was applied to the proposed course. The equivalent of 1 contact hour per week will be applied to the accelerated summer session.

This course meets the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa time allotment for a 1 credit course (40 hours total for all course work). Student contact time will be a total of 15 hours for this course, this time will be spent viewing modules (power points, video lectures, screen cast videos). Students will spend approximately 12 hours completed graded assignments and the remaining 13 hours students will spend completing assigned readings that support the lectures and are required to complete graded activities. See the course schedule outlined below and also referred to in the syllabus.

FINAL Course Overview Finals Week (1 hour)Final Exam (1 hour)- Due Friday

The 400-level course was selected as the course is non-introductory in nature. Students’ are expected to understand basic concepts of nutrition such as body composition, energy balance, macronutrients, and nutrition needs during childhood upon entering the course. Students will be asked to critically evaluate professional literature (journal articles) and will gain skills in analyzing dietary and child growth data. Students are expected to demonstrate these skills through graded activities.

Offering at the 400-level also situates the course to be integrated into a proposed certificate in Child Health (need to be 300 or higher in order to be counted toward a certificate) along with making the course applicable to graduate students, since nothing similar exists at the graduate level. In addition, the current number was selected to fit in with current FSHN course numbering system (http://www.catalog.hawaii.edu/courses/departments/fshn.htm). All of the CHL Summer Institute courses will be proposed to fall between FSHN 453 and FSHN 458 since those

UHM FORM 1 JUSTIFICATION FSHN 456: Child Health and Nutrit ion Monitoring numbers are not currently in use. FSHN 456 is one of the first courses being proposed for the CHL SI.

It is a 400-level course, so it carries both graduate and undergraduate credit. Thus, it is an advanced course so it will be more difficult and/or require more effort than many courses you may have completed. Because it is an advanced course, the instructor assumes that the student understands basic concepts of nutrition such as body composition, energy balance, macronutrients, and nutrition needs during childhood upon entering the course. This course is designed for learners interested in gaining skills and knowledge in field of epidemiology, statistics, nutrition surveillance and data analysis. Course content includes topics related to monitoring the health and nutritional status of populations including epidemiology, biostatistics, health and nutrition surveillance systems, and diet and child growth analysis. Learners will gain knowledge and skills in using various technologies and software for dietary and anthropometric data analysis that can be applied to work in research, public health and other settings. Upon completion of this course you should be able to:

1. Describe basic concepts of epidemiology. 2. Describe various concepts of and approaches to surveillance and monitoring for health

in the Pacific. 3. Evaluate dietary intake information using appropriate reference materials and software. 4. Evaluate anthropometry data using appropriate reference data and software.

This course fulfills the core Knowledge Requirements for Dietetics (KRD) as listed below:
