Book excerpt: Globally, the food system and the relationship of the individual to that system, continues to change and grow in complexity. Eating is an everyday event that is part of everyone’s lives. There are many commentaries on the nature of these changes to what, where and how we eat and their socio-cultural, environmental, educational, economic and health consequences. Among this discussion, the term "food literacy" has emerged to acknowledge the broad role food and eating play in our lives and the empowerment that comes from meeting food needs well. In this book, contributors from Australia, China, United Kingdom and North America provide a review of international research on food literacy and how this can be applied in schools, health care settings and public education and communication at the individual, group and population level. These varying perspectives will give the reader an introduction to this emerging concept. The book gathers current insights and provides a platform for discussion to further understanding and application in this field. It stimulates the reader to conceptualise what food literacy means to their practice and to critically review its potential contribution to a range of outcomes.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the study was to assess the long-term effect of the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) on participants' diet quality using 24-hr dietary recall (24HDR) data collected from a sample of English and Spanish speaking EFNEP participants from January 2018 through October 2019. Healthy Eating Index (HEI) scores collected at 4 time points – pre-EFNEP (Week 1 of a 9-week nutrition education class series), post-EFNEP (Week 9), 6-months post-EFNEP, and 12-months post-EFNEP – were analyzed using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) linear regression and paired t-tests. This study was limited due to its small sample size, little variation in participant demographics, and missing data. Total HEI – estimated due to the missing data – improved substantially by 4.8 points from pre-EFNEP to the 12-month follow-up. HEI subcomponent scores improved in total fruit, whole fruit, and fatty acids whereas scores decreased in total vegetables, green beans, and sodium. Further research is essential to demonstrate the long-term impacts of EFNEP on participants’ dietary behaviors and thus, the efficacy and value of evidence-based nutrition education programs targeting low-income families.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) is a federally funded program to assist people with limited resources in developing knowledge and skills about food and nutrition. The program targets youth and low-income families with children. EFNEP programs exist throughout counties in all 50 states and US territories. It has been shown to be an effective program in improving food practices and dietary intake. EFNEP is evaluated by the changes in the baseline questionnaires and post-intervention questionnaires filled out by the participants. Two of the questionnaires which are pertinent to my research are the EFNEP Behavior Checklist (BC) and 24 hr recall. The BC is a 10 question form asking participants about recent food related behaviors. The 24 hr recall is a detailed record of the foods eaten by the participant in a 24 hr time period. The 24 hr recall allows for an analysis of the nutrient intake of the individual. There are 11 counties in Ohio which have EFNEP programs. This research will use the data subsets from all 11 counties, for the 2005 and 2006 fiscal years. The Ohio EFNEP program is facilitated through The Ohio State University Extension, Department of Nutrition. Funds for the research are provided through the Ohio EFNEP program budget. The goal of this research is to determine which questions on the BC are sensitive enough in evaluating EFNEP, and which are not. Sensitivity was assessed through determining the association of the food behaviors (BC) and actual behavior (dietary intake) interpreted from nutrient analysis. This will create a framework for further research on which questions need to be changed to accurately assess food behaviors as reported in the 24 hr recall. The advantage of using the BC is that it is shorter, less expensive, and easier to apply than a 24 hr recall, making it faster to administer and more understandable for the participants to take. Statistical analysis was performed using a Paired T-Test of the mean scores from the pre- and post- BC and pre- and post- 24 hr recall to determine changes upon completion of the program. To determine the correlation of the BC and 24 hr recall, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied. The Ohio EFNEP has been successful in bringing about positive changes in participants in both food behaviors and diet. Although changes are positive, the diets of participants at exit are still below DRI/Food Guide Pyramid recommendation for many of the nutrient and food groups. Many nutrition related BC questions had a significant relationship with the 24 hr recall. Questions from the core 10 BC as well as Additional BC questions were related to specific nutrients, adding value to ability of the BC to assess diet. However, there were also BC questions that did not show the expected relationship to the nutrient addressed in the question. Select questions of the BC may be useful to discriminate between the groups of participants consuming the lower and higher amount of select nutrients relative to their self-reported food behaviors. The BC must be continuously evaluated to improve the evaluation tools used to assess EFNEP. Although it is able to measure change in the participants, when used alone the core 10 BC and additional questions from this research would not be able to completely assess diet independent of 24 hr recall.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the behavior changes, barriers to preparing healthy meals, quality of life and internal locus of control with two nutrition education programs EFNEP and OFL. Data for this study were collected by surveying participants in the EFNEP and OFL Program before and after participation in the programs. The research was guided by the following questions. (1) Do participants change behavior after participating in EFNEP or OFL?; (2) Are participants able to overcome barriers that prevent them from preparing healthy meals after participating in EFNEP or OFL?; (3) Do participants demonstrate an increase in their quality of life after participating in EFNEP or OFL?; (4) Do participants experience changes in their perceived control of their environment after participating in EFNEP or OFL?, and (5). What effect, if any, does the method of program delivery have on change in behaviors, overcoming barriers to healthy meals, a change in locus of control and quality of life after participating in EFNEP or OFL? Among the 268 respondents, there were 141 respondents from the OFL Program and 127 from EFNEP. The majority of the participants were female, African-American, between the ages of 21-30 and had a high school education or less. Data analysis revealed participation in EFNEP and OFL nutrition education programs influences behavior change with low-income clients and perceived quality of life improved for respondents after participating in the two programs. Participation in EFNEP and OFL did not impact clients in overcoming barriers in preparing healthy meals, and participation in the programs did not seem to have an influence on the perceived control of one's life. Changes in behavior were not dependent on the method of delivery for the two programs EFNEP and OFL.
