We evaluated the effects of a nutrition education program using HyperMirror, a video-mediated communication system, on the acquisition of appropriate food and dietary choice skills among Japanese and Thai schoolchildren, and the applicability of HyperMirror for a nutrition education program. HyperMirror uses composite video images and mirrored self-images to make geographically remote individuals feel as if they are in the same room. The nutrition program, assessed using a pre-post study design, was conducted in 2006 (wherein the target was food choices based on food groups) and 2007 (wherein the target was planning a well-balanced breakfast). Periodic newsletters were distributed between the yearly sessions to ensure knowledge retention. Subjects were students (aged 9–10 years in 2006) from urban areas of Japan (n = 70) and Thailand (n=21) who participated in both the lectures in 2006 and 2007. The study environment was evaluated after every year’s distance lecture. We also assessed program impact in terms of changes in nutritional knowledge, attitudes and behaviors towards appropriate food and dietary choice. The following behavioral objectives were assessed; (1) making appropriate diet choices, (2) understanding and being interested in foreign dietary/food cultures, and (3) being concerned about their own nutrition after three weeks of distance learning in 2007. The mean study environment scores were high overall for both sessions (3.8 for Japanese students, 4.4 for Thai), and changes in nutritional knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors were observed.
