The Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior (SNEB) is an American non-profit organization that represents the professional interests of nutrition educators in the United States and worldwide. The organization was founded as the ''Society for Nutrition Education'' in 1968 but changed to its current name in January 2012. SNEB is dedicated to promoting effective Nutrition Education and communication to support and improve healthful behaviors and has a vision of healthy communities through nutrition education and advocacy. Members of SNEB educate families, fellow professionals, students, communities, and policy makers about nutrition, food, and health. SNEB has adopted the definition of nutrition education as defined by Dr. Isobel Contento: Nutrition education is any combination of educational strategies, accompanied by environmental supports, designed to facilitate voluntary adoption of food choices and other food- and nutrition-related behaviors conducive to health and well-being. Nutrition education is delivered through multiple venues and involves activities at the individual, community and policy levels.〔Nutrition education: Linking research, theory and practice. Jones & Bartlett, 2007〕 In addition to providing resources to the nutrition education community, SNEB publishes the ''Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior'' (''JNEB'') with Elsevier. The official publication for the Society, ''JNEB'' is a refereed, scientific periodical that serves as a resource for all professionals with an interest in nutrition education as well as dietary and physical activity behaviors. The purpose of ''JNEB'' is to document and disseminate original research, emerging issues, and practices relevant to nutrition education and behavior worldwide. The content areas of ''JNEB'' reflect the diverse interests of health, nutrition, education, cooperative extension and other professionals working in areas related to nutrition education and behavior. As the Society's official journal, ''JNEB'' also includes occasional policy statements, issue perspectives, and member communications.〔http://jneb.org/aims〕 == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Society for Nutrition Education」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
