James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., Healthy People 2000 Objective 2.6 encourages Americans to increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables to at least 5 or more servings per day. To help grade school children establish "fruit and vegetable-friendly" consumption patterns, a K-6 nutrition education curriculum emphasizing the "5 A Day for Better Health" principles was developed. Results of the pilot project, previously presented at SNE, were used to change the focus of the curriculum from a public health nurse-taught curriculum to a teacher-taught curriculum. Objectives of the second phase of the "5 A Day" curriculum project were to: 1) rewrite the curriculum so a classroom teacher with minimal nutrition knowledge could successfully teach the course, 2) offer "train-the-trainer" workshops to area elementary school teachers, and 3) compare students knowledge about, attitude toward and consumption of fruits and vegetables between teacher-taught and public health nurse-taught classes. Curriculum revisions were completed in October of 1993. To date, 221 elementary teachers have been trained in the "5 A Day" curriculum. Preliminary independent analysis of pre-/post-test results for both teachers (n=223) and nurses (n=4,562) indicates students demonstrated an increased knowledge about, an improved attitude toward, and an increased consumption of fruits and vegetables. A comparison of the teacher-taught and nurse-taught classes awaits further data collection. Students and teachers alike indicate this curriculum, approved by the National Cancer Institute, is a fun, "a-peeling" way to help foster healthier habits among today's youngsters!

10 pages., Article #:4FEA4, via online journal., Childhood obesity is one of the leading problems facing Americans today. As children continue to struggle with both obesity and food insecurity, many parents and doctors look to schools to be responsible for providing healthful meals. The aim of the Farm to School (F2S) program is to bring fresh, local produce into school cafeterias. Aligning with Extension goals, the F2S program provides an opportunity for both the development of healthful lifestyles and increases in agricultural profits. Through interviews with producers and school food service directors, we determined ways Extension programming can be used to improve the efficiency of the F2S program.

James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., Fruit and vegetable consumption by children falls well below recommended levels. NCI's 5 A Day Program targets adults only. California's health department, produce industry, education department and American Cancer Society are reaching 4th and 5th graders with a child-driven campaign that offers adult intermediaries new, easy ways to engage kids. It applies resiliency theory (used in substance abuse) to help kids manage negatives in their food environment. Research and development, testing, revision, implementation, evaluation, and institutionalization will conclude by mid-1995. A 3-year marketing plan mobilized partners' efforts. Initial research with children and adult opinion leaders determined the focus, design, and elements of the campaign. "Turnkey" Idea and Resource (I&R) Kits were devised as vehicles to deliver the program in schools, community youth organizations (CYOs), and markets, complemented by state-level media. A "grants" program helped underwrite television PSAs, print media, and the kits. Research findings received considerable press attention. Pilot testing of the School I&R in nearly 50 classrooms revealed high student, teacher, and foodservice acceptability. ACS volunteers will provide outreach and additional feedback from more school districts statewide. Process measures with supermarkets and CYOs will be collected later in 1994. Children's 5 A Day is a large-scale program suitable for state 5 A Day, comprehensive school, health, and USDA school meal improvement initiatives. Despite clear public health need and widespread popularity, substantial advocacy is needed if such programs are to reach all children.
