Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., The Maryland 5 A Day WIC Promotion is a multi-faceted interagency project, funded by the National Cancer Institute, to increase the fruit and vegetable consumption of WIC participants. Focus groups and intercept surveys were conducted of 207 WIC women to identify key messages, motivators and strategies for behavior change. Based on the results of this research, three types of interventions are being developed: 1) educational sessions, including both professional counseling and peer facilitation; 2) specially-designed materials such as a photonovella/decision guide, trigger video, and direct mail; and 3) community-based activities including an enhanced farmers' market project. The interventions will be pilot tested, then studied in a randomized crossover design of 16 WIC sites. Evaluations will include assessments for nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors; self-efficacy, behavioral intent, and stages of change. This presentation will focus on the formative research with WIC participants and the use of this research in the development of 5 A Day educational materials and interventions.

- James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., The Nutrition Education and Training (NET) program is the educational component of the USDA's Child Nutrition Programs. The goal of the program is to promote optimal health and well-being of the nation's children through improved nutrition. In Texas, this goal is being achieved by developing and delivering workshops on nutrition, nutrition education, and food service management to educators and food service personnel in schools and child care facilities; circulating a library collection of print and audiovisual materials; and developing and distributing instructional materials to schools and child care facilities. Other program activities include awarding funds for the development of innovative nutrition education projects conducting presentations to children and adults, participating in health fairs and exhibits, and coordinating efforts with related public nutrition programs. The purpose of this poster session is to highlight methods used in evaluating the processes and outcomes of these interventions and the utilization of the evaluation results in program development and improvement. The poster will include methods used and problems faced in evaluating immediate, end-of-treatment, and long-term outcomes, with suggested solutions. The audience will be able to discuss the applicability of the evaluation methods to their programs, the plausibility of the suggested solutions to evaluation problems, and decisions made based on the results of evaluation. The presenter will prepare handouts of methods and instruments used in the NET program evaluation. Evaluation reports of the program will be available for review.

- James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., A group of 50 rural women who participated in a nutrition counseling/education programme were followed to find out the impact of their education and participation in an intervention programme. Nutritional knowledge and awareness of the women before and after participation, changes in their cooking practices, improvements in the food consumption pattern of their families, type of weaning foods introduced to their next borns and nutritional profile of their next borns formed criteria for evaluation. Besides remarkable retention in knowledge, positive trends in awareness, the notable changes in practices were evident. The mothers gave appropriate weaning foods to the next borns; food and nutrient intake trend were better and superior to their control counterparts. Beneficial impact of nutrition education to women especially through participatory approach was established.
