Newswise — Beginning in February, the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior (SNEB) launches a fifth semester of the Journal Club. The Journal Club is weekly webinars featuring authors from the latest issues of Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior. This semester’s Journal Club will add a new component. Attendees will be provided a sample data base for use throughout the series. During the webinar, presenters will walk the participants through the mechanics of running the procedure. They will then have a “homework” assignment where the participants can try running the procedure on their own and comparing their answers with the correct answers and interpretations. The participants will then pose questions to the presenter in the week after the webinar through a LinkedIn online discussion.

Each one-hour webinar will be broadcast at 1 p.m. ET and available as a recording. SNEB Members attend webinars free as a benefit of membership. Cost to attend as a non-member is $25. Please register to attend at http://www.sneb.org/events/journalclub.html.
