Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
Many limited resource youth have poor health skills and limited knowledge of the relationship between health practices and health status. According to the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program, the Caldwell County Kentucky School system is 52.98% free and reduced lunch. The EFNEP paraprofessional taught basic nutrition skills to 591 school-age youth. The Professor Popcorn curriculum was used to teach six lessons.
89% of the youth reported an improvement in their ability to choose foods according to the Federal Dietary Recommendations. 36% improved their physical activity practices. 44% used safe food handling practices more often. 24% acquired skills to be food secure. This improved knowledge and adoption of practices should help these individuals experience an increased level of health throughout their lives because of the early age at which the basic health practices have been learned and implemented.
