Q

objective of COMPREHENSIBLE nutritional surveys

A
  1. information about given community
    - PREVALENCE of nutritional problems (how many people have it)
    - geographical DISTRIBUTION of disease (where do people have it)
  2. information leads to identification:
    - at risk population (age group, sex group etc) who are at greatest need of assist
