An evaluation of the
“Educational Campaign to Increase Bean Consumption” was
carried out in the same urban community where the Campaign
took place. Such evaluation started in October, 2001, almost
one year after the Campaign was launched in the community.
This article deals with one of the aspects studied: bean
consumption in families of mothers who were the target group
of the Campaign. The evaluation was made on a representative
sample from a population of middle-class families with school
children from the community, which included 66 families.
Results show a consumption increase of 21.4 grams of beans
per person per day (g/p/day), as compared to the consumption
found in the assessment made before the Campaign. This is a
significant increase, placing consumption at the same level as
that of the country’s rural areas, where bean consumption has
remained high.
