Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) Implementing Agencies (SIAs) utilized the SNAP-Ed Evaluation Framework (Framework), which provides 51 indicators to assess program success in the first five years.
- A survey was conducted across three fiscal years (2017, 2019, and 2021) with SIAs that received funding, showing that over 80% of them used the Framework for program planning and data collection.
- Despite a general high usage, a decline was noted in the specific measurement of work accomplished from 2017 to 2021, indicating a need for improved focus on long-term outcomes beyond immediate indicators set by the USDA.
Objective: To evaluate the validity of 2 brief instruments to estimate fruit and vegetable (FV) intake among third-grade children.
Methods: Children from an elementary school and a community center (n = 107) completed 2 retrospective questions for FV intake (fruit and vegetable questionnaire [FVQ]) and a food record (A Day in the Life Questionnaire [DILQ]) to estimate FV intake. Agreement between intake based on these instruments and 3 24-hour dietary recalls was determined.
