  2. Objective 1: Improve Overall Dietary Quality • Measurement indicators: • After attending an FNP class, 60% of participants will intend to consume more fruits and vegetables each day based on post- then pre-surveys. • After attending an FNP class, 72% of the participants will intend to consume more servings of whole grains per day based on post-then-pre-surveys.

  3. PreK-2nd Grade • Results suggest increased knowledge about dietary quality after FNP lessons • Example: Post-survey identification of healthy fruit and vegetable snacks for the body. (n=1038)

  4. 3rd-6th Grade • Results suggest some improvement in participants’ dietary quality, but not achieving the 2012 indicator of 60% of participants • Examples: • 22.7% reported higher consumption of a variety fruits after the FNP sessions than before (n=4681) • 23.2% reported higher consumption of vegetables after FNP sessions (n=4188)

  5. Teens and Adults • Results suggest participants intended to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables after the program, nearly achieving the 2012 indicator of 60% of participants Percentage of teen and adult participants reporting intentions to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables after FNP programs.

  6. Objective 2: Increase Food Resource Management Skills • Measurement indicators: • After attending an FNP class, 55% of adult participants will intend to use a plan for spending money for food more often based on post-then-pre surveys. • After attending an FNP class, 50% of adult participants will intend to plan meals ahead of time more often based on post-then-pre surveys.

  7. Teens and Adults • Results indicate that most participants intended to use plans for spending money for food and to plan meals ahead of time more, achieving the 2012 indicators of 55% and 50% respectively Percentage of participants reporting increased intentions to use plans for spending money for food and to plan meals ahead of time after FNP programs.

  8. Objective 3: Increase Participation in Physical Activity • Measurement indicators: • After attending an FNP class, 40% of participants will intend to increase the amount of time spent in physical activity each week based on post-then-pre surveys

  9. PreK-2nd Grade • Results suggest participants gained knowledge about physical activities • 89.1% of participants correctly identified “bicycle” as the “best activity to do after sitting in school all day” (n=857) • An increase in correct responses of 25.2% from the pre- program survey

  10. 3rd-6th Grade • Results suggest a high level of knowledge about physical activity among participants but generally little change in reported behavior, not achieving the 2012 indicators of 40% • Examples: • 98% of participants correctly identified “walking” as the “activity [that] can keep me healthy” (n=3060) • 20.4% indicated an increase in being “physical active every day (…like run, play sports…),” most indicating no change pre- and post- (n=4433)

  11. Teens and Adults • Results suggest higher intentions among participants to increase physical activity, achieving the 2012 indicators of 40% • 44.9% of participants reported intentions to increase their level of physical activity, typically from “physical activity at least 30 minutes per day, 1 or 2 days per week” to “3 to 4 days per week” (n= 452)

  12. Summary and Conclusions • Results suggest FNP has made significant progress toward the 2012 program objectives, especially for teens and adults • Fully met Objective 2 (Food Resource Management) and Objective 3 (Physical Activity) for teens and adults • In the future: Raise indicator levels? Assess behavior? Emphasize physical activity in youth programs? • Partially met Objective 1 (Dietary Quality) • In the future: Greater emphasis on dietary quality? Assess behavior?
