This project will develop a computer-based quantification system for the USDA Food Guide Pyramid for use in primary prevention and nutrition education programs. A graphic user interface will be used to enter daily food choices, a food file database will be organized by the six categories of the food guide, and a graphic-based printout system will communicate food guide messages. A score to quantify an individual's daily food choices based upon adherence to category serving recommendations will be formulated. The developed software will also provide a dependent measure to determine the effectiveness of food guide concepts. A specialized database will be developed, from an existing database, which consists of single food items, mixed dishes, and combination foods in standard serving sizes. Three groups, including experts, users, and professionals, will be used to formatively evaluate the software. The software will be developed on the Macintosh and a final beta version of the software and the user's manual will be delivered at the conclusion of the project. During phase Il, the developed Computerized USDA Food Guide Pyramid will be evaluated as part of a primary prevention or nutrition education program.

本项目将开发一个基于计算机的量化系统， 用于初级预防和营养的美国农业部食物指南金字塔 教育项目。将使用图形用户界面输入每日 食物选择，食物档案数据库将按六个类别组织 食物指南，一个基于图形的导航系统将与 食物指南信息量化个人每日食物的分数 选择基于坚持类别服务的建议将是 制定了开发的软件还将提供一个独立的措施， 以确定食品指南概念的有效性。一个专门 将从现有的数据库开发一个数据库，其中包括 标准服务中的单一食品、混合菜肴和组合食品 尺寸.三组，包括专家，用户和专业人士，将 用于形成性地评估软件。该软件将开发 在Macintosh和软件的最终测试版和用户的 手册将在项目结束时交付。在阶段 II，开发的计算机化美国农业部食品指南金字塔将被评估 作为初级预防或营养教育计划的一部分。
