Description
Hadia Radwan and eleven co-authors test whether taking a general nutrition course raises students' nutrition knowledge, in a 2026 study. The survey ran online at the University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. Two hundred forty-nine students who had completed the elective course were compared with five hundred sixty-one who had not. The course covers food nutrients, selected hot topics, and common diet-related diseases in three modules.
At term's end, all students took a validated eighty-eight-item knowledge questionnaire. Those who took the course scored higher, as the title reports. The comparison is not a trial, since students chose the course, but it supports the idea that one general course can lift food literacy across a whole student body, whatever their major.
