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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among participants and those eligible, but not participating, food stamp families fared best in both economic and food consumption characteristics. Food assistance recipients and eligible nonparticipants ranked below ineligibles in economic and food consumption characteristics. Regression analysis identified significant factors contributing to variations in food expenditures and family income. Income and family size were among the variables significantly related to food expenditures, while education and family size were among those significantly related to family income.
Book Synopsis SNAP-Ed Can Improve Nutrition of Low-Income Americans Across Life Span by : James C. Hersey
Download or read book SNAP-Ed Can Improve Nutrition of Low-Income Americans Across Life Span written by James C. Hersey and published by RTI Press. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutrition education in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP-Ed) is designed to promote healthy eating behaviors in a low-income target population. In particular, SNAP-Ed programming encourages participants to increase consumption of fruit and vegetables and switch to lower fat dairy products. With funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), we independently evaluated eight programs that were selected as possible model SNAP-Ed programs. Our evaluations used robust research designs (experimental or quasi-experimental), similar primary outcome measures across the studies, and statistical analyses to account for clustering of participants within settings. These evaluations found a significant effect in outcomes for four programs: one in child care settings, two in elementary schools, and one in senior centers, suggesting that SNAP-Ed has the potential to be effective for some individuals across all age groups. Additionally, the study findings suggest that the maturity of the program (that is, experience in implementing the program over time) may make nutrition education more effective. Future studies should assess the longer-term effects on nutrition behaviors and sustainability of SNAP-Ed programs for preschool- and elementary-aged children, adults, and senior citizens.

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 Synopsis Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by : National Research Council
Download or read book Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Americans who live at or below the poverty threshold, access to healthy foods at a reasonable price is a challenge that often places a strain on already limited resources and may compel them to make food choices that are contrary to current nutritional guidance. To help alleviate this problem, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers a number of nutrition assistance programs designed to improve access to healthy foods for low-income individuals and households. The largest of these programs is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly called the Food Stamp Program, which today serves more than 46 million Americans with a program cost in excess of $75 billion annually. The goals of SNAP include raising the level of nutrition among low-income households and maintaining adequate levels of nutrition by increasing the food purchasing power of low-income families. In response to questions about whether there are different ways to define the adequacy of SNAP allotments consistent with the program goals of improving food security and access to a healthy diet, USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to conduct a study to examine the feasibility of defining the adequacy of SNAP allotments, specifically: the feasibility of establishing an objective, evidence-based, science-driven definition of the adequacy of SNAP allotments consistent with the program goals of improving food security and access to a healthy diet, as well as other relevant dimensions of adequacy; and data and analyses needed to support an evidence-based assessment of the adequacy of SNAP allotments. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Examining the Evidence to Define Benefit Adequacy reviews the current evidence, including the peer-reviewed published literature and peer-reviewed government reports. Although not given equal weight with peer-reviewed publications, some non-peer-reviewed publications from nongovernmental organizations and stakeholder groups also were considered because they provided additional insight into the behavioral aspects of participation in nutrition assistance programs. In addition to its evidence review, the committee held a data gathering workshop that tapped a range of expertise relevant to its task.

This book was released on 1999-06-10 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report was prepared in response to a request from the Economic Research Service (ERS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). It summarizes the discussions at a February 1998 workshop convened by the Committee on National Statistics; the Board on Children, Youth, and Families; and the Food and Nutrition Board. The fiscal year 1998 (FY1998) appropriations bill for USDA gave ERS responsibility for all research and evaluation studies on USDA food assistance programs. The bill provided $18 million to fund these studies, an increase from $7 million in FY1997. ERS asked the Committee on National Statistics for assistance in identifying new areas of research and data collection and in further improving the evaluation studies of food assistance programs. By bringing together many who work on evaluation of food assistance programs, policy analysis, survey methods, nutrition, child nutrition and child development, outcome measurement, and state welfare programs, the issues presented and discussed at the workshop provided ERS with information that could be used to develop a framework for their research program.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extract: The Food Stamp Program was made part of permanent legislation in 1964. Studies of the economic impact of the program have been conducted by scientists in government, universities, and private research agencies. Since the program is relatively new, the existence of many of these studies is not generally known. This bibliography contains brief descriptions of the major empirical studies completed prior to 1974. Studies included relate to performance aspects of the various food stamp programs which have been tried. It is hoped that the bibliography will be helpful to scientists interested in conducting food stamp studies, and to policymakers. (Author)
