“…7 Online nutrition education has been shown to be as or more effective than traditional programs for participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. 8 As online nutrition education opportunities emerge, recruitment strategies using social networks may facilitate the outcome and impact evaluations necessary to establish an evidence base for these programs. For example, upon entry of subject inclusion criteria into a form (eg, age, geographic location, sex), Facebook generates projected audience reach.…”

“…Parents living in the Delta may lack access or means to use online resources. While online resources have been successfully used for improving nutrition knowledge and behavior (20,32) and cited as an acceptable alternative to traditional education programs (33), this study showed that online nutrition education resources may not be suitable or well received by parents in the Delta.…”

Background: Parental involvement has been identified as one of the most important factors affecting children's health. There has been limited investigation on nutrition education resources preferred by parents living in the Mississippi Delta, a region of the state with the highest rates for poverty and diet-related diseases. Understanding what type of nutrition education resources are currently used by parents and what type of resources parents would likely use, if made available, will be beneficial to health educators in developing and disseminating nutrition education resources and facilitate the greatest impact. Objective: Identifying nutrition education resources used by parents. Patients and Methods: Low-income parents of elementary school-aged children were surveyed on their 'current use' and 'likely use' of nutrition education resources. Survey packets were delivered to teachers in three elementary schools who then distributed the surveys to their students to deliver to their parents. Completed surveys were returned to the teacher who delivered them to the researchers. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize responses. Results: The most common nutrition education resources currently used by parents are nutrition facts labels (m = 3.58 ± SD 1.31), television shows (m = 3.24 ± SD 1.12), and healthy homework activities from their child's school (m = 3.18 ± SD 1.40). Resources seldom used by parents are video games (m = 1.49 ± SD 0.87), healthy cooking classes (m = 1.76 ± SD 1.03), and online discussion boards (m = 1.75 ± SD 1.01). The nutrition education resources parents would likely use are healthy homework activities (m = 4.21 ± SD 0.95) and information sent home from school (m = 4.15 ± SD 0.94). Parents reported they would least likely use video games (m = 1.95 ± SD 1.31), online discussion boards (m = 2.47 ± SD 1.34), and mobile phone applications (m = 2.69 ± SD 1.42). Conclusions: Identifying nutrition education resources currently being used and most likely to be used by parents will be beneficial to health educators when developing and implementing effective nutrition interventions with parents in the Mississippi Delta and other rural regions.

“…Bensley, Anderson, Brusk, Mercer, and Rivas's study [8] claimed that Internet food safety and sanitation education was a viable alternative to traditional food safety and sanitation education for increasing fruit and vegetable consumption in some women, infants, and children clients. Besides, food safety and sanitation education through the telehealth service resulted in positive effects on the risk factors for metabolic syndrome, nutrient intake, and dietary habits [3].…”

Abstract. The purpose of this study is to introduce the graphic presentation food safety and sanitation learning system with parent participation in element school's health and physical education curriculum. The students were divided into four groups: control group, control group with parent participation, learning system group, and learning system group with parent participation. There were three extra variables in this study: learning system, and parent participation. The research data (three exams scores) was obtained before the course, in the middle of the course, and at the end of the course. The results indicate that, first, the estimate of slope of learning system is significantly correlated with parent participation; second, male elementary school students and female elementary school students were similar in the growth rate between each time points; third, the relationship between the initial exam score and the following two exam scores were not significant. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the use of learning system and parent participation were helpful for elementary school students to acquire food safety and sanitation knowledge in the health and physical education curriculum.
