Mighty Millets: The grain of the year’s underutilized potential

Thu, 01 Jun 2023 16:30:08 +0000

Are you curious about the grain of the year? Join us for education, inspiration, and exploration of opportunities to engage with the untapped potential of millets. Given the interest in gluten-free food products, ancient grains, and novel food sources, millets have received more attention lately, including the designation of 2023 as the International Year of the Millets (IYM) by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. Millets are nutrient-dense, highly varied group of small-seeded cereal grains that are highly tolerant to drought and poor soil. Although these grains rank sixth in global cereal production and are recognized as “smart foods” and “good for the planet,” they are underutilized. Dr. Rob Myers will highlight the fascinating diversity of millets from around the world, and from within the United States. Dr. Kiruba Krishnaswamy will discuss her work related to the nutritional and functional characteristics of millets.

Journal Club: Pilot Intervention Using Food Challenges and Video Technology for

Tue, 09 May 2023 15:13:28 +0000

This presentation will describe a pilot intervention that was fielded and tested with a young adult population. The intervention was grounded in social cognitive theory and used food challenges and video technology to promote fruit and vegetable consumption. Three types of outcomes were developed for the intervention based on social cognitive theory (cognitive, affective, and behavioral). These theory-linked outcomes will be discussed in the context of a programmatic logic model that directly connects key theoretical constructs with learning activities designed to address specific outcomes. As such, the presentation will describe the use of various educational strategies and tools, such as guided goal-setting, cooking practice, and self-reflection, that were effective in meeting the intervention's goals.

How Children Search for Health Information Online: An Observational Study

Tue, 02 May 2023 15:18:42 +0000

Health literacy related to finding, interpreting, and using health information on the Internet is a growing field in public health. A new and innovative approach toward evaluating digital health literacy is the use of computer software programs to record a user’s search strategy in real time. In this presentation I will review efforts that have been done in the past to evaluate digital health literacy, and present a study that was done among children (9-11 years old) to understand and observe their search strategies for finding obesity-related health information.

Online Grocery Shopping Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviors

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 15:21:05 +0000

The purpose of this qualitative study was to inform policy proposals to allow online grocery shopping with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits by examining relevant behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes of SNAP recipients. The study used a purposive recruitment strategy to conduct 4 1-hour focus groups with SNAP recipients in Las Cruces, NM. SNAP recipients in this study have not adopted online grocery shopping for various reasons, including cost, quality control for perishable foods in particular, and distrust of the overall process. Participants expressed interest in suggested services aimed at increasing the benefits of shopping online. Additional research could inform policy by investigating which participants would benefit from using SNAP benefits online and strategies for facilitating use.

Journal Club: Determining eLearning Preferences to Inform Beverage Policy Training for Early Care and Education Teachers

Tue, 18 Apr 2023 16:02:44 +0000

Decreasing intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and increasing consumption of healthy beverages (e.g., water and milk) among young children can help address the problem of childhood obesity. Early care and education (ECE) teachers are key to promoting healthy beverages as they play a significant role in establishing healthy habits among young children. Thus, there is a crucial need to ensure that ECE teachers are knowledgeable about recommended beverage policies. This presentation will highlight findings from a mixed-methods study exploring ECE teachers' needs and preferences for eLearning. Outcomes informed the development of beverage policy eLearning training for ECE providers.

Infant Feeding Tracker Applications: Cross-Sectional Analysis of Use

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 16:39:44 +0000

Mobile health technologies can address some barriers to breastfeeding by offering tracking features, data on user behavior, and information. This presentation will review the use of mobile applications (“apps”) for tracking infant feeding. Characteristics of app users, app features most used and desired by postpartum mothers, and app features most frequently available within these apps will be presented.

Spring Journal Club: Cultural Adaptation and Social Media Promotion of Healthy Eating Guides for Spanish Speakers

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 18:25:13 +0000

Gender Identity Reporting: Implications, Practices, Opportunities, and Challenges

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 18:03:46 +0000

Have you been thinking about being more inclusive with how you have your clients or participants report their gender identity and sexual orientation? Have you also been thinking about how more inclusive gender identity and sexual orientation report can be translated into more passionate, informed and caring practice? If so, this webinar is for you. We will have a panel discussion with three nutrition education professionals who have been thinking deeply about these issues, and have experiences with inclusive gender identity and sexual orientation reporting and practice. They will share their experience, including both their successes and challenges. We will also have plenty of time for discussion with participants.

Addressing Nutrition Insecurity with Cultural Humility

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 16:51:16 +0000

How can you, as a nutrition professional be an advocate for persons suffering from nutrition insecurity? This session will take a deep dive into leading with cultural humility and vulnerability to center the needs of our community members in nutrition education and recommendations. Dr. Wesley McWhorter will describe how colonialism, slavery, and racism shapes the ideal of healthy foods, nutrition research and recommendations. Attendees will learn to lead with cultural humility and challenge the Eurocentric world view that excludes food cultures from around the world and perpetuates systemic racism in our communities.

WIC Participants’ Perspectives About Online Ordering and Technology in the WIC Program

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 16:18:51 +0000

As part of the journal club series, this presentation will focus on the article titled: “WIC Participants’ Perspectives About Online Ordering and Technology in the WIC Program”. We know that WIC is a federal nutrition program that creates improvements in health and nutrition outcomes, and that WIC enhances health equity. However, just over half of eligible individuals participate in the WIC program. Technology enhancements, such as online shopping and other WIC modernization efforts have the potential to enhance the WIC experience and engage more individuals and families. This presentation will explore research into participants' perspectives on potential technological enhancements in WIC, as a part of user-centered design.

Development and Validation of the Food Resource Acceptability Questionnaire (FRAQ)

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 18:43:18 +0000

In previous research, we identified stigma as a significant barrier to the willingness to accept food assistance, both from public health and community-based resources. As part of the Aetna Foundation's Healthiest Cities and Counties Challenge, qualitative interviews were conducted with food security advocates, low- and middle-income community members, unemployed individuals, and college students to determine root causes of food insecurity. The stigma associated with food assistance was a prevalent theme. Based on these interviews, the FRAQ was developed using social science scale development recommendations. This webinar describes how stigma impacts acceptance of food assistance, the development and psychometric testing of the FRAQ, potential strategies aimed at decreasing food assistance stigma, and socioecological contributors to food insecurity among older adults living in rural areas.
