Schoolchildren in Pennsylvania, USA, 3 or 4 classes in each grade from kindergarten to grade 6, participated in a nutrition education programme for 9 weeks. Controls did not participate in the programme until later. Data were collected by using attitude and knowledge tests, whereby the children were asked to respond to different food items. The nutrition education programme slightly increased the nutritional knowledge of kindergarten to 5th grade pupils but not that of 6th grade pupils.
