Family Mealtime Conversations in Context

Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100

Family mealtimes are complicated affairs. Burnier and colleagues address an important question: are arguments during family meals associated with energy intake in young children? There is a growing literature documenting the potentially important role that shared family mealtimes play in promoting health. A meta-analysis of over 180,000 children documented that sharing family meals at least 3 times a week reduces the odds of overweight by 12%, reduces the odds for eating unhealthful foods by 20%, and increases the odds for eating healthful foods by 24%. Burnier and colleagues present survey evidence that parents with lower levels of education and fewer economic resources are more likely to eat at irregular hours, to report that mealtime is only occasionally an opportunity to speak, and to...

According to the Colorado State University EFNEP Web site, a common way for both adult and youth participants to be referred to the program is through community agencies affiliated with EFNEP. Prior to this project, Colorado EFNEP did not use any printed materials to recruit potential agency partners, and there was a lack of recruitment materials for potential EFNEP participants.

Recruiting EFNEP Participants: Process and Materials

Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 04:00:00 +0100

In response to hunger in the United States, the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) was created in 1968 to provide information about nutritious food choices, food safety, food budgeting, and physical activity to adults and children with limited resources.

Food and Fun for Everyone: A Community Nutrition Education Program for Third- and Fourth-Grade Students Suitable for School Wellness Programs

Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 04:00:00 +0100

In light of the call to address the issue of childhood obesity within the next generation, there is an urgent need for relevant and evidence-based programs. Although schools serve as an excellent community resource to meet the challenge, they are being asked to do more with diminishing resources and increased demands on teachers’ time. In part, this challenge is reflected by the requirement for schools participating in Child Nutrition Programs to have a school wellness policy that must include nutrition education goals. However, schools have reported lack of funding and resources to fully implement these requirements. Collaborative efforts with community-based nutrition education organizations have potential to provide schools with cost-effective and relevant strategies for ensuring that...
