 The SNEB Annual Conference Call for Abstracts opens on Nov. 1 — that's only three weeks away! Here are five things you should know before the submission process begins.
- The 2019 conference theme is Nutrition Education: Rooted in Food. It is a reminder of our origins as food and nutrition educators. It’s a call to action that underscores the need to safeguard food producing resources and improve healthy food access in a time of political, social and planetary disruption. It also celebrates the beauty, pleasure and joy stemming from our connections with food. Abstracts related to this year’s theme are encouraged.
- The first deadline for submissions is Jan. 23, 2019. Why submit by January 23? Abstracts submitted by this date are eligible for oral presentation and can be revised and resubmitted at no extra cost after reviewer comments. You can also save money—abstracts submitted by January 23 costs only $25 versus $50 for the late breaking abstracts.
- Late breaking abstracts are due March 1, 2019. The purpose of late breaking abstracts is to accommodate abstracts with results not available before the regular submission deadline. Remember: abstracts submitted without results as late breaking abstracts will not be accepted.
- The abstract categories being accepted are: Research Abstracts, Program Abstracts, Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Abstracts, FNEE Pre-Conference Research and FNEE Pre-Conference Programs. See the Review Criteria for additional details.
- In addition to being published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, your abstract could win an award! The SNEB Higher Education and Nutrition Education for Children Divisions are accepting applications for their annual research awards to be presented at conference. Apply when you make your abstract submission.

Effective July 2018, the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior (SNEB) has been granted special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. With this status, SNEB will be provided opportunities for direct engagement with ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies, as well as with the United Nations Secretariat, programs, funds and agencies. Specifically, the ECOSOC will contact SNEB for expert information and advice related to nutrition education. SNEB will be informed about the provisional agenda of ECOSOC and SNEB may make requests for items to be added to the provisional agenda or submit position papers related to agenda topics.

The 50th anniversary year for JNEB is ebbing, but I wanted to also highlight the 50th anniversary for the Expended Food and Nutrition Education program (EFNEP). Since 2000, JNEB has published nearly 80 articles that involved EFNEP. Going back to 1970, there are over 590 articles. Clearly, EFNEP leaders have embraced the scholarship of curricula development and implementation as well as investigated the outcomes associated with this program. The collection can be found here, and I encourage you to visit and explore these articles on your own.

Journal Club 6: Nutrition Environment Food Pantry Assessment Tool (NEFPAT): Development and Evaluation
Monday, Nov. 12 | 1 - 2 p.m. Eastern | Register
About the Webinar
The food and nutrition environment – which includes aspects such as food pricing, placement, marketing and promotions – is known to impact consumer behaviors. However, the impact of the food and nutrition environment in emergency food settings, which serve low-income consumers at high risk for food insecurity and poor quality diets, is less understood. This webinar will introduce viewers to the Nutrition Environment Food Pantry Assessment Tool (NEFPAT) – a novel user-friendly tool that can be used by raters to evaluate a variety of food pantry efforts to promote health through their services. Attendees will understand the components of the NEFPAT, why they were selected, and the methods used to determine validity and reliability. How to use the NEFPAT in food pantry settings will also be discussed.

Why do food demos? As nutrition educators we know that those who have tight budgets are less likely to try something new if they have to spend money they haven't planned to spend. Food demos are a great way to introduce new foods at no cost! Those in retail know that food demos work because free food samples increase sales (more here).

Work environment challenges nurses trying to adopt healthy behaviors
Research among nurses reports fewer than 10 percent meet physical activity guidelines and eat a healthy diet. The American Nurses Association underscored this issue by declaring 2017 as the Year of the Healthy Nurse. A new study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior found that despite providing pedometers, a smartphone app, and access to a Facebook group, study participants were unable to change their diet and physical activity levels at the same time.

Choose activities that you enjoy and can do regularly. Fitting activity into a daily routine can be easy — such as taking a brisk 10-minute walk to and from the parking lot, bus stop, or subway station. Or, join an exercise class. Keep it interesting by trying something different on alternate days. Every little bit adds up and doing something is better than doing nothing.
