Legally blind adults are faced with numerous challenges in activities of daily living, especially regarding nutrition and dietary consumption. This population is more likely to report lower health status and poor dietary intake when compared to sighted adults (United States Census Bureau, 2021; WHO, 2022). Reported research is lacking in studies that assess nutrition knowledge and dietary habits of legally blind and sighted adults aged 18- to 55-years-old in the United States (Jones & Bartlett, 2018). The purpose of the study was to examine if there is a difference in nutrition knowledge and dietary habits between legally blind and normal-sighted adults. This quantitative, causal-comparative design utilized two validated instruments: The General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire-Revised and the Mini-EAT (Eating Assessment Tool). Utilizing a non-probability, purposive, snowball sampling technique, a sample of 131 respondents volunteered and completed the General Nutrition Knowledge and Dietary Habits Survey: legally blind adults (n = 66) and normal sighted adults (n = 65). Data from the questionnaire (GNKQ-R) and dietary assessment tool (Mini-EAT) were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and an independent samples t test. The researcher compared the difference in the means of nutrition knowledge and dietary habits between legally blind and normal-sighted adults.The results revealed significant differences in the nutrition knowledge scores (t(129) = 16.02, p = .000) when comparisons were made between the normal-sight group (M = 68.37, SD = 15.83) and the legally blind group (M = 30.09, SD = 11.14). Additionally, there were significant differences in dietary habits (t(129) = 3.49, p = .001) when comparing the normal-sight group (M = 51.88, SD = 7.11) to the legally blind group (M = 46.92, SD = 9.02). While this study explicated poor knowledge among both groups, the significance here is that legally blind participants fared worse, thus highlighting the need for more inclusive and equitable nutrition education and interventions.The findings underscore a compelling need for tailored strategies, considering the unique challenges faced by the visually impaired population. The research outcomes highlight the pronounced disparities in nutrition knowledge and dietary habits between legally blind and normal-sighted adults.
