本研究主要目的為瞭解台灣地區社區大學營養教育實施現況;歸納社區大學營養教育所應涵括的規範性需要，以建立社區大學營養教育應涵蓋的主題、項目等內容及優先順序;比較現況與需要間之差異情形，以提供課程內涵之建議;研究成果期能提供社區大學營養教育課程內容之參考。
    研究設計採用專家訪談及修正型德懷術(modified Delphi technique)研究法，研究對象均採立意取樣方式，前者選取七位學術界或實務界之專家，進行個別訪談。後者則以三回修正型德懷術問卷，徵詢15位學術界及實務界專家對社區大學營養教育應涵蓋的主題及項目之具體意見。本研究之主要結論如下:
一、台灣地區成立了七十一所社區大學，僅有十三所社大開設學術性營養教育課程。社區大學營養教育尚有大幅開課的空間。
二、台灣地區社區大學營養教育需要評估研究結果，非常必要的主題有十二項，必要的主題有二項。非常必要之項目有七十三項，必要之項目有三十七項。
三、目前社區大學營養教育實施現況與本研究結果比較，有九項主題相符，五項主題從缺;分別為「認識有機食品」、「營養資訊來源之介紹」、「中醫養生營養學」、「認識基因食品」、「應用與實習」等。
本研究並分別對營養教育工作者、社區大學課程設計者及後續研究提出若干建議。

This research aims at analyzing the current execution of nutrition education among Taiwan community colleges；establishing the necessities for the nutrition education, and also the topics, priority of each items; providing suggestion for education courses by comparing the gap between current situation and demands; offering our research as reference for community colleges’ nutrition education courses.
