In their many professional activities, dietitians and nutritionists have long provided nutrition education. The organized use of the telephone to communicate nutrition facts in response to telephoned questions adds but one more dimension to these efforts. The organization, goals and objectives of such Dial-A-Dietitian programs have been discussed, and data presented that relate to questions asked by clients and their evaluation of the service. The service is viewed by the participating dietitian as providing an opportunity to directly help people in need of her unique knowledge. The client sees the program as an effective, readily available authoritative resource for food and nutrition information.
