Implementation Science for Nutrition Education Professionals and Researchers
Tuesday, Sept. 18 | Noon - 1 p.m. Eastern | Free to all | Register
Implementation Science (IS) is the study of how best to support uptake and sustainability of evidence-based and recommended practices. To date, application of IS principles and designs has been limited in the nutrition education field. This webinar will explore the relevance of IS for advancing the field of nutrition education. Attendees will become familiar with scenarios fitting for application of IS. Further, IS methods will be compared to terminology and concepts likely to be familiar to nutrition education audiences (e.g., process evaluation).
This webinar is sponsored by the Research Division and the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.

It has many names — low literacy, readable, plain/clear language (my preference, reader-friendly) but one goal — communicating clearly. We often point to the reading level of our audiences as the reason to write below a certain reading level — writing at or below eighth grade for the U.S. public but lower reading levels may be more appropriate for your audience.

Voices for Healthy Kids Action Center
Across the U.S., many families and individuals struggle with food insecurity. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps alleviate this issue by enabling participants to stretch their food dollars and purchase healthier foods. And, SNAP incentive programs take it a step further — financial incentives encourage SNAP participants to buy more fruits and vegetables, which not only helps families eat healthier food options, but also strengthens local economies by generating higher sales and job growth.
