The aim of this research was to reveal the current status of the whole grain knowledge, attitude and dietary behavior as well as the relationships among 3 previous variables for senior（vocational）high school nursing and health education teachers. There were 107 subjects who were given whole grain related questionnaires including knowledge, attitude, dietary behavior (assessed by semi-quantitative food frequency methods) and personal characteristics. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, one-way analysis of variance with Scheffe’s post hoc test were applied for data analysis. The findings in this study were presented as follows:
1. For the senior（vocational）high school nursing and health education teachers in Taiwan, the average score of the whole grain knowledge was 13.46 in a 17-questions measurement. The average rate of correct answers in the measurement was 79% on an individual base. The average score of whole grain attitude was 4.20 with standard error 0.75. Regarding daily whole grain intake, 4.36 servings were eaten personally. Additionally, 58.88% of teachers took at least 3 servings in one day, and 37.38% of them took 1 to 2.999 servings.
2. There was a trend towards positive relationship between the whole grain knowledge and dietary attitude, and so as the dietary attitude and behavior. However, there was no relationship between the whole grain knowledge and dietary behavior.
3. Significant difference was shown in the only one of 9 personal characteristics which was teaching seniority of senior（vocational）high school nursing and health education teachers.
