Planning Unit: Lawrence County CES
Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Lawrence County Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP-Ed) assistant has developed a partnership with The Job Readiness Activities (JRA) Group. With each new group the JRA instructor has, he contacts the SNAP-Ed assistant. The last group of participants consisted of 4 adults that enrolled and graduated the SNAP-Ed program with 7 lessons.
Participants reported 100% improvement in using a meat thermometer, thawing frozen food at room temperature less often, and cleaning items and surfaces more often after contact with raw meat and seafood. In addition, 75% wash their hands more often before preparing food.
The Food and Physical Activity Exit Questionnaire showed that 100% of participants improved by drinking regular soda less often and 50% improved by drinking sugary drinks less often.
