Notes:
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.
