Prioritizing Clients
Demand for nutrition services often exceeds the resources available. One way that nutrition programs can work to address this is through prioritization — ensuring that those in the greatest need of limited services will receive them. Programs can use a variety of tools and resources to help them to identify and prioritize clients.
