- 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.

Analysis of primary and secondary data indicated that success was being achieved. The careful identification and design of programmes based on local resources and needs was seen to be very important for the attainment and sustaining of viability.

(Paper presented at an international conference held at the University of Reading in September 1985), Defines economic studies of extension in three classes: 1) economic consequences or impact of extension, 2) efficiency with which extension resources are utilized, and 3) determinants of investment in extension. Reviews the studies in the first and third classes and then discusses some of the implications of these studies for the second class of studies. Part I provides an overview of international data on spending for research and extension to provide perspective from which to review economic studies. Part II discusses the evidence from extension impacts on farm production and productivity, farm income, farm employment, farm size, and on the value of farm assets. Part III discusses studies of political and economic factors that influence spending on extension. These facts include international aid to extension programs as well as domestic factors. Lastly, Part IV provides a discussion of implications for efficient organization of extension programs.
