About WDA’s Outcomes Management Initiative

• In May of 1998, the Wisconsin Dietetic Association Board appointed a 5-member research team to design and conduct a statewide outcomes project. More than a 100 dietitians across Wisconsin were recruited and trained to collect health and lifestyle data on adults with type 2 diabetes referred to them for nutrition counseling.
