Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
Washington County reports that 29% of its residents have some form of hypertension and report being physically unhealthy at least 5 days a month.
To combat these numbers the Washington County Family Consumer Science agent and the SNAP-Ed Program Assistant conducted a Facebook LIVE class utilizing the ‘Healthy Choices for Everybody’ curriculum.
Weekly virtual meetings were held over the course of 2 months. This group reached 7 participants, with 16 additional people being reached in the participant’s families. In addition to the ‘Healthy Choices for Everybody’ curriculum and related recipe was demonstrated and discussed.
At the end of the program 100% of participants showed improvement in one or more nutrition practices, i.e. diet quality, food safety and food resource management. The 70% positive change in fruit and vegetable consumption will help with the participants overall health and well being.
