“…Results indicated that an additional $122,931-$316,754 was spent on fruits and vegetables after the changes were made to the program. Cason, Scholl, & Kassab (2002) showed positive impact of using the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) on eating behaviors. WIC sites were one area of focus for the nutrition education provided by these researchers.…”

“…Compared to group interventions, individual approaches were found to be more effective in increasing nutrition knowledge and behaviors among this population. Cason, Scholl, and Kassab (2002) examined the impact of EFNEP on eating patterns using three differing types of program delivery: individual, group, and SuperCupboard, which consisted of basic life skills education as well as food safety, preparation, resource management, and nutrition education. SuperCupboard targets individuals who regularly utilize emergency food services.…”

“…In the community-based Eat Well Live Well Nutrition Education program aimed at low income African-American women, Auslander, Haire-Joshu, Houston, Rhee, and Williams (2002) stressed that programs should encourage increased regular physical activity along with an increase in fruit and vegetable intake to most effectively reduce overweight and maintain healthy weight status. Cason, Scholl, and Kassab (2002) recommend enhancing group programs by individual meetings, telephone calls, and additional group sessions. Increasing contact between facilitators and clients may enhance effectiveness and increase long-term sustainability.…”

This article presents a review of the literature regarding nutrition education programs targeting low income women. A total of 15 interventions were found, which met inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria included publication between January 1, 2001 and January 1, 2007, focus on low income females, focus exclusively on nutrition and improvement of dietary behaviors, publication in English, and intervention took place in the US. The 15 studies meeting the search criteria were, in turn, re-reviewed collectively by the authors. Ten main themes were found: 1) WIC and EFNEP-based interventions, 2) collaborative approaches, 3) theoretical framework, 4) learner-centered, 5) skills-based programs, 6) use of produce coupons or vouchers, 7) computer-based programs, 8) culturally-based interventions, 9) peer teaching, and 10) recommendations to include social support or physical activity. A summary of each was developed and emergent themes were identified. In this manner, effective strategies and lessons learned from the research regarding increasing healthy eating among low income females could be more clearly delineated and discussed. This paper could be quite beneficial to health educators and health researchers interested in increasing healthy dietary practices among low income females

“…Hoover and colleagues' (2009a) research examining the Eating Smart • Being Active curriculum also support differences in food-and nutrition-related outcomes that are not significantly influenced by the instructional setting. Conversely, other findings suggest that individual instruction results in better self-reported food-and nutrition-related behaviors than those taught in groups (Cason, Scholl, & Kassab, 2002;Dickin, Dollahite, & Habicht, 2005;Dollahite & Scott-Pierce, 2003;Hoerr et al, 2011).…”

Further, I would like to acknowledge the program director of EFNEP/SNAP-Ed, Christine Hradek, and the staff at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, specifically, Jody Gatewood and Justine Hoover, who made this research project possible. I want to also offer my appreciation to the nutrition educators and participants who were willing to participate in the surveys, focus group discussions, and structured observations, without whom this thesis would not exist.In addition, I would also like to thank my lab mates, Jessica Szczepanski, Hilary Green, Jennifer Pilut, and Hailey Ebacher, for their constant assistance and guidance throughout the entirety of this project. Lastly, I would like to thank my friends and family for being my support system and making my time at Iowa State University a wonderful experience.
