Advancing policies for quality malnutrition care in older adults: a toolkit for constituents and driving change

Abstract:

This toolkit, by Defeat Malnutrition Today Coalition and Women In Government, provides information on the malnutrition issue and how to communicate to state policymakers about its impact on the older adult population. Included are resources addressing how malnutrition is a growing but preventable problem in America today; what policy changes can help decrease malnutrition; how multiple states are taking action to end malnutrition; and how constituents can help influence state policymakers to do the same.
