Bean consumption increase in an urban population through an educational Campaign. An evaluation of the “Educational Campaign to Increase Bean Consumption” was carried out in the same urban community where the Campaign took place. Such evaluation started in October, 2001, almost one year after the Campaign was launched in the community. This article deals with one of the aspects studied: bean consumption in families of mothers who were the target group of the Campaign. The evaluation was made on a representative sample from a population of middle-class families with school children from the community, which included 66 families. Results show a consumption increase of 21.4 grams of beans per person per day (g/p/day), as compared to the consumption found in the assessment made before the Campaign. This is a significant increase, placing consumption at the same level as that of the country’s rural areas, where bean consumption has remained high.
