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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: An historical and statistical profile of the education efforts of the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) covers the period from November, 1968 through September, 1977. The program was charged to educate families living in or near poverty to acquire knowledge, skills, and changes in behavior to achieve adequate diets providing normal nutrition. 1.5 million families were taught in the program influencing, in turn 6 million family members' diets; 3.5 million youth participated in EFNEP's 4-H food and nutrition activities. EFNEP focuses on knowledge of how to use available food resources and the importance of nutrition. Initial pilot projects showed the feasibility of EFNEP. Paraprofessional aides and existing extension home economics programs were employed. Existing national, state, and county programs and personnel share EFNEP responsibility. EFNEP has had a positive impact on the diets of program families.

Book excerpt: The childhood obesity epidemic and related health consequences are urgent public health problems. Approximately one-third of America's young people are overweight or obese. Health problems once seen overwhelmingly in adults, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, are increasingly appearing in youth. Though the health of Americans has improved in many broad areas for decades, increases in obesity could erode these and future improvements. The IOM report Accelerating Progress in Obesity Prevention: Solving the Weight of the Nation recognized the importance of the school environment in addressing the epidemic and recommended making schools a focal point for obesity prevention. The development and implementation of K-12 nutrition benchmarks, guides, or standards (for a discussion of these terms, see the next section of this chapter) would constitute a critical step in achieving this recommendation. National nutrition education curriculum standards could have a variety of benefits, including the following: Improving the consistency and effectiveness of nutrition education in schools; Preparing and training teachers and other education staff to help them provide effective nutrition education; Assisting colleges and universities in the development of courses in nutrition as part of teacher certification and in updating methods courses on how to integrate nutrition education in subject-matter areas in the classroom and in materials; and Establishing a framework for future collaborative efforts and partnerships to improve nutrition education. Nutrition Education in the K-12 Curriculum: The Role of National Standards is a summary of the workshop's presentations and discussions prepared from the workshop transcript and slides. This summary presents recommendations made by individual speakers.
