Abstract
This study assessed the effectiveness of a nutrition education program for Certificated Flight Instructors (CFIs). The program consisted of six video modules and briefs on various nutrition topics. Thirty-one CFIs participated in the study, and their nutrition knowledge was assessed before and after the program. The results showed a statistically significant increase in nutrition knowledge scores following the intervention (p < .001). Participants also reported that the program helped them improve their dietary habits. These findings suggest that nutrition education can be an effective way to improve the health and well-being of CFIs and potentially other populations.
