Discussion Question # 3 What does success in SNAP-Ed look like? How should we measure it?
Wrap-up SNAP-Ed 2.0 emphasizes nutrition education and obesity prevention and offers more flexibility for targeting and programming. SNAP-Ed activities must be grounded in the best available evidence for preventing overweight and obesity in the low-income population. Outcomes should demonstrate behavioral changes for SNAP-Ed audiences. FNS is here to help.
