The sponsor of this study, an Area Agency on Aging, wants to improve service to its clients aged 60 and over for whom a special diet has been recommended by a medical practitioner. Before making changes, the agency wants recommendations based on a better understanding of their client's desired outcomes and the perceived importance of those outcomes. This exploratory study used a mixed methods approach of applying job-to-be-done principles. Qualitative interviews were conducted with six eligible individuals. Insights from the interviews were combined with factors identified from the literature to yield nine outcome statements. A quantitative survey was conducted (N=253) to assess the importance of and satisfaction with the outcome statements and to collect demographic and diet-type variables. The study found that five types of diet account for 92% of special diets. Respondents averaged more than two special diets per person. Using a jobs-to-be-done approach to analyze the outcome statements, three opportunities were identified for consideration by the agency. These opportunities included taking steps to minimize the financial impact a healthy diet has on a household food budget, optimizing the taste of healthy meals, and minimizing uncertainty about where to get help with special diets. Additionally, seven agency-specific recommendations were made.
