Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess nutrition and physical activity practices among Family Child Care Homes (FCCH) in Oklahoma, focusing on self-efficacy, barriers, and knowledge of food programs, with a particular look at differences based on staffing levels.
- The results showed a low prevalence of providers meeting all recommended best practices for nutrition and physical activity, with nutrition self-efficacy reported as high, yet knowledge of food program best practices was lower than expected.
- The study concluded that, although providers felt capable of implementing nutrition standards, there is a need for more comprehensive training to enhance their overall knowledge and effectiveness in meeting all best practice guidelines.
