James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., Partnerships between nutrition educators and industry are an emerging trend in nutrition education. In 1991, the Society for Nutrition Education (SNE) collaborated with McDonald's and CBS to develop 12 Public Service Announcements (PSAs) for children aged 4-10 years. These 55-second nutrition messages, titled "What's On Your Plate," are broadcast during prime viewing time on Saturday morning. While concerns have been expressed about this collaboration, it is not known whither the attitudes and perceptions differ between nutrition professionals and parents of young children regarding the partnership or the resulting program. To examine these views, we conducted six focus groups. Three were with parents of children aged 4-10 tears and three were with Registered Dietitians; all were residents of the Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN area. After viewing segments of the PSAs, we asked participants about their perceptions of the program, sponsors, and nutrition messages. We also asked about their concerns related to industry sponsorship of nutrition messages and collaboration of SNE with an industry partner. Nutrition educators considering partnerships with industry will benefit by being aware of the differences and similarities of the perceptions and attitudes regarding partnerships of these two groups. These focus group results will be used to direct the development of a questionnaire to quantitatively evaluate differences in perceptions between Registered Dietitians and parents regarding industry sponsored nutrition education.

7 pages, via online journal, A number of current events are exacerbating farm stress. Extension and farm organizations have mobilized responses to an emerging mental health crisis among farmers. To evaluate these responses, we conducted an online scan of resources to present a baseline typology of current mental health programs and response efforts in the 12-state Extension North Central Region. We classified responses by type of program, target audience, and delivery format. We identified the need to train mental health counselors and state suicide hotline responders on farm issues and farm culture.

search through journal, The value of weed scouting information for soil-applied and post-emergence weed management is estimated using a dynamic, whole-farm simulation model. The model simulates outcomes of four expected utility functions from management strategies using three levels of weed information. Results from a representative Minnesota corn and soybean farm indicate high value of weed seedling counts (for post-emergence control) but relatively low value of weed seed counts (for soil-applied control). While herbicide use is often reduced under information-based management, this is not always the case. (original)

Notes:
James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., The more educated, higher income segment of the US population has experienced a marked decline in cardiovascular disease (CVD) rates. This decline has been more limited for those with a lower socioeconomic status, lower occupational status, lower educational attainment, or those who are members of disadvantaged minority groups. One of the reasons for this difference may be the need for appropriate educational materials or programs for CVD prevention for these segments of the population. A project to develop and evaluate a nutrition education program for women with limited literacy skills is aimed at addressing his need. We conducted 18 focus groups with the target population to determine their interests and needs. From their responses, we developed the "Help Yourself to Health" program, an innovative 9-session program that delivers simple, practical, and relevant behavioral nutritional messages in fun and entertaining ways. Sessions feature attention-getting activities and unique incentives like measuring spoons, magnets, and cookbooks. All sessions are pamphlet-free. The program is currently being evaluated in three urban Minnesota counties with the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program. Since the mean literacy level in the U.S. is at or below the eighth grade reading level, nutritionists working with clients in any area will find the philosophy, activities, and materials of this program thought-provoking and useful.
