Effectiveness Data

Effectiveness Data

MNT is effective in treating a variety of diseases and conditions. The information and resources below support the benefits associated with RD-provided nutrition services.

The ADA Evidence Analysis Library includes a section MNT Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness. This information can be used in RD advocacy efforts to expand coverage for MNT services. ADA will be updating the MNT Works Kit to include these research findings and effectiveness data.

Once you have logged onto the ADA Web site, select "Evidence Analysis Library" from the green navigation element on the left, or click the link below. When the EAL loads, select the tab "Nutrition Care Process" from the top navigation element, and then select "Outcomes Management System" from the blue navigation element on the left, then select “Medical Nutrition Therapy” from the blue navigation element. From here, you can review the MNT effectiveness and cost-effectiveness data.
