CWN Director of Research and Evaluation demonstrates effectiveness of SNAP-Ed in Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior

Sharon Sugerman, Director of Research and Evaluation at the Center for Wellness and Nutrition, recently co-authored an article published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (JNEB) for the sixth time, making her a Silver Level Author of JNEB. This latest article shares the results of an evaluation which examined among low-income mothers the consumption of fruits and vegetables, high-fat foods, and sugar-sweetened beverages and overall diet quality in relation to levels of reach of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) interventions across 2,907 California census tracts. Results showed that mothers from high SNAP-Ed reach census tracts ate more cups of fruits and vegetables, consumed fewer calories from high-fat foods, and drank fewer cups of sugar-sweetened beverages. The abstract is available here.
