SNEB Journal Club 6: What Does Evidence-Based Mean for Nutrition Educators?
March 27 | Noon - 1 p.m. EDT
Speakers: Jamie S. Dollahite, PhD, Cornell University and Cindy Fitch, PhD, RD, West Virginia University Extension Service.
Webinar based on this journal article
Funding agencies and professional organizations are increasingly requiring community-based nutrition education programs to be evidence-based. However, few nutrition education interventions have demonstrated efficacy, particularly for interventions that address the outer layers of the socioecological model (i.e., organizational, community and public policy). This webinar reviews the types of evidence available to assess the likelihood that a given intervention will deliver the desired outcomes and how these types of evidence might be applied to nutrition education, and then suggests an approach for nutrition educators to evaluate the evidence and adapt interventions if necessary.
The audience will:
- Become familiar with different types of evidence
- Consider the strengths and limitations of each type of evidence
- Identify best practices for choosing an intervention that are applicable to their programming
- Understand ways that an intervention can be adapted while maintaining fidelity
SNEB Journal Club 7: Assessing the Environment for Support of Youth Physical Activity in Rural Communities
April 3 | Noon - 1 p.m. EDT
Speakers: Kendra Kattelmann, PhD, RD; Christopher Comstock, MS, RD; Lacey McCormack, PhD, MPH, RD, EP-C, South Dakota State University; and Tandalayo Kidd, PhD, RDN, Kansas State Research & Extension
Perception of PA in rural communities may not match objective measures. Future research should work toward refining and improving existing environmental audit tools and developing new, comprehensive, location-specific tools.
Objectives:
- To describe the tools used to assess rural environmental support for physical activity
- To report the environmental support of physical activity in rural areas
- To discuss the relationship between the measured environment for physical activity and the perceptions of physical activity support in sixth- to eighth-grade youth in rural communities
Scientific Evidence for the Mediterranean Diet-Style Eating Pattern
April 12 | 1 - 2 p.m. EDT
Speaker: Immaculata De Vivo, MPH, PhD, Harvard University
The Mediterranean diet has been consistently linked with health benefits, including reduced mortality and reduced risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease. When the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans was released, healthy eating patterns, rather than the amounts of specific nutrients, was the main thrust of the guidelines. One of these patterns is the Healthy Mediterranean-Style Eating Pattern. This webinar will explain the scientific evidence behind the recommendation of this diet.
