6 pages., Online via UI e-subscription, Researchers used focus groups to analyze perspectives of graduates of an Extension-based Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). "Trust emerged as a central theme, because participants expressed a need for reliable information from known, credible sources and safe places to share information." Authors concluded that social media may be effective and establishing the trustworthiness of the social media site is essential to its use among low-income participants.
9 pages., Online via UI e-subscription, Researchers examined Internet access and interest in receiving nutrition education via social media application among low-income adults participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed).Results indicated similar Internet accessibility in southern Illinois among low-income populations compared with national rural rates. Interest in using online nutrition education varied among participants according to age. Overall, 49% of middle-aged adults aged 33-64 years and 87% of seniors aged 65 years or older reported they would not use online nutrition education.
