An easily administered and scored test of nutritional knowledge was published in the previous issue of the Journal (December 27, 1980). The correct answers to the questionnaire are presented here. The questionnaire has been administered to 2175 subjects. The test was shown to have high reliability and criterion validity, discriminating between educational and occupational groups. There was a significant linear relationship between nutritional knowledge score and age. It is suggested that the test may be of value in the assessment of patients requiring dietetic management.
