Monday, Feb. 19 | Noon - 1 p.m. EDT | Register
Speakers: Leanne Whiteside-Mansell, EdD, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences & Taren M. Swindle, PhD, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
This talk will examine the development, theoretical foundation, evidence of feasibility and acceptability, and effectiveness of "Together, We Inspire Smart Eating" (WISE). WISE is a research-based curriculum developed to target preschool and elementary school children attending schools serving children from low-income backgrounds. WISE includes three key components: (a) the classroom curriculum including the mascot, Windy Wise, a barn owl, (b) educator training, and (c) material/technology to educate parents.
The classroom curriculum encourages increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, fosters healthy attitudes and behaviors towards trying new healthy foods, and strengthens children's agricultural literacy. Process evaluation results will include an overview of implementation success and barriers. Outcome evaluation will include changes in educator knowledge and behavior, parent report of dietary intake compared with children not receiving WISE, and Skin Carotenoid pre/post assessment of consumption.

As part of the baseline data collection, we collected information on gardening experience, gardening enjoyment, exposure to vegetables, vegetable preference and vegetable consumption from 1326 ethnically-diverse children.

We will also describe implications of this study on school-garden based interventions.

 When the Journal of Nutrition Education was started in 1969, the time was right. There was no publication for the nutrition professional who was not working as a hospital dietitian or research scientist. There was a rapidly increasing interest in knowledge about nutrition on the part of politicians and the public.
