A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Community-Based Nutrition Education Program for Low-Income Parents

Technology-enhanced game-based team learning for improving intake of food groups and nutritional elements

“…However, the authors provided results from students' attitudes and knowledge outcomes, but not changes in actual consumption. Another experiential approach was adopted by Dollahite, Pijai, Scott-Pierce, Parker, and Trochim (2014), who noted improvements in self-reported nutrition habits after engaging in a dialogue-approach titled "Eating Right is Basic." Various experiential activities were included over the course of eight weeks, such as comparing actual intake and recommended consumption by food group, discussing food labels, brainstorming meal-planning guidelines, and identifying nutritional elements in different food products.…”

A qualitative evaluation of UC CalFreshPlan, Shop, Save, Cookcurriculum reveals additional outcomes

“…The longer-term benefits of food resource management education have been documented in a recent randomized, delayed controlled study conducted in an EFNEP population in New York where the Eating Smart Being Active curriculum was delivered (Dollahite et al 2014). Designing a SNAP-Ed program evaluation that captures additional dietary behaviors with a longer follow-up time can help inform the development of policies aimed at improving diet quality and food security.…”

“…These items were chosen because previous research has reported significant associations between several of them and diet quality (Hersey et al 2001). Moreover, they are used nationally to evaluate similar nutrition education classes offered through the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program, a program funded by the USDA to reach low-income families with children (EFNEP; Dollahite et al 2014).…”

“Highly processed, highly packaged, very unhealthy. But they are low risk”: exploring intersections between community food security and food safety

“…Other previous research examining the link between food safety and food security has focussed on assessing the inclusion of food safety within food security initiatives, 45 and the impacts of a particular food safety regulation on population food security, 11,12 as well as exploring risk factors that can be common to both food insecurity and foodborne disease (e.g. socioeconomic status, 46 climate change 47 ).…”
