Abstract
A survey was conducted to ascertain research involvement and interests of dietitians. The survey questionnaire was developed and mailed to 1200 dietitian members of The American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.). Usable responses numbered 424 (35.3%); 84% were A.S.P.E.N. members 5 years or less. Currently 46% and previously 17% of respondents served on nutrition support (NS) teams. Two-thirds of the group either completed or were enrolled in a graduate program. Only one-half of the respondents had statistics and/or research methodology courses.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
