Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This report presents a summary of general conclusions and recommendations resulting from an evaluation of the initial phase of the Cooperative Extension System (CES) Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program. The assessment, conducted from January through July 1969, was intended to look at the program in depth at a selected sample of sites in seven states. Evaluation findings are intended to supplement statistical data being collected from all program sites. The strengths of the program center around its ability to come rapidly into being with high acceptance. Its present difficulties center around the formidable task for any social program of demonstrating a real and lasting impact on family living.

This book was released on 1972 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The study showed that about 184,000 low-income families participated in the Extension Service's Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) prior to October 1969. A sample showed that family incomes were very low--less than $2,700, of which more than a third was spent for food. Families with annual incomes of less than $1,200 per year spent nearly one-half for food. Most families were urban, members of minority groups, and had homemakers with relatively low educational levels. Food consumption practices of homemakers upon entering the program indicated that many families had poor diets. Foods in the milk, fruit and vegetable group were most often lacking in diets. After 6 months of EFNEP participation substantial, improvements in food knowledge and consumption practices were evident, particularly in the consumption of foods in the milk, fruit, and vegetable groups. Homemakers with poorest diets showed more improvement than those who had better initial food consumption practices.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Most youth participating in the Extension Service's 4-H Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) were urban and from families with annual incomes of less than $4,000. Nearly 40 percent of the youth were from families where the homemaker was also participating in EFNEP. About 40 percent were black, and an equal percentage were white. Sixty percent were between the ages of 9 and 14 years, and the majority were girls. More than two-thirds of the youth participated on a continuing basis in the 4-H EFNEP and more than 40 percent participated in short-term activities. Primary teaching methods included nutrition games, demonstrations, visual aids, and role playing.

Book excerpt: To help improve nutrition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides nutrition education through five of its programs: Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP); Food Stamp Program (FSP); Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); National School Lunch Program (NLP); and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). In 2002, it spent $472 billion on such efforts. This study examined key actions that officials took to increase the likelihood of success in nutrition education and looked at whether USDA and state and local officials took these actions during program design, service delivery, and program monitoring and evaluation. Researchers interviewed experts in the field of nutrition education research, reviewed key research on the topic, and reviewed GAO reports and other documents on performance-based management. They interviewed officials from each of the five programs and reviewed program reports and studies. They also interviewed state and local officials from each of the programs in three states, conducted site visits in Maryland and California, and conducted telephone interviews with Michigan officials. Finally, they identified and reviewed studies and evaluations of the programs? nutrition education efforts that were conducted over the last 10 years. Results indicated that there were several key actions, based on research and performance-based management principles, that increased the likelihood that programs would achieve their goal (e.g., identifying program goals, tailoring services to meet participant needs, and collecting data on program results). The actions could be taken during program design, delivery, and monitoring and evaluation. The programs generally incorporated the key design actions likely to contribute to success. However, programs? administrative structures hindered coordination among USDA nutrition education efforts. Programs incorporated the service delivery actions likely to cont nutrition education in different ways and to varying extents, but they faced similar challenges affecting their ability to fully incorporate the actions (e.g., limited resources and systems). USDA?s nutrition education efforts did not fully incorporate the monitoring and evaluation actions that contribute to success, such as collecting data on types of nutrition education provided and outcomes of the efforts. Three appendixes present the study scope and methodology, nutrition education goals of key USDA programs, and GAO contacts and staff acknowledgements.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation's Land-Grant University Cooperative Extension System (LGU-CES) is committed to ensuring that low-income populations have a safe, affordable, and healthy food supply. Two low-income nutrition education programs that are core to this commitment are the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed), which are funded by United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) and Food and Nutrition Services (FNS), respectively. Leadership from the CES Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) requested the assistance of NIFA to facilitate improved alignment and visibility of EFNEP and SNAP-Ed within the LGU-CES, given the importance of both programs to their organizational mission and the health needs of the country's low-income populations. NIFA's Institute of Food Safety and Nutrition issued a special project competitive award to develop recommendations for system-wide alignment of these programs. The University of California's Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources received the award and convened an expert working group with regional and programmatic diversity to participate in the national meeting and help develop the scan and recommendations. At the senior agency and organizational leadership meeting, LGU-CES representatives identified potential strategies for aligning program quality and effectiveness within five areas of focus: advocacy, communication, messaging, research, and evaluation. This report shows what is working well and what may be done to strengthen and improve EFNEP and SNAP-Ed at the university level and by Cooperative Extension as a total system. Suggestions are also given for the potential role of ECOP leadership and what federal partners might do to strengthen low-income nutrition education programming. The report is divided into two sections: (1) Project Recommendations, which contain suggestions for aligning and elevating nutrition education programs for low-income audiences within the LGU-CES; and (2) Project Strategies and Findings, which describe the approaches used and insights gained upon which the recommendations are based. The following are appended: (1) Coordination and Cooperation Considerations; (2) Recommendations for ECOP Leadership and Federal Agencies; (3) Align and Elevate Working Group Members; and (4) Environmental Scan Quantitative Data.
