SNAP-Ed 2018

The proposed projects address nutrition education and obesity prevention needs of the limited- resource target populations through direct education, indirect intervention channels, and advocacy for policy, systems and environment (PSE) changes to improve nutrition and physical activity practices. The University of Kentucky's Nutrition Education Program will apply the social ecological framework for nutrition and physical activity decisions to address nutrition and physical activity at all levels of the model -individual, environmental, sectors of influence, and social and cultural norms and values. Consistent evaluation will provide data for curricula improvement, staff training, and field implementation of the proposed projects. The 2019 plan includes three proposed projects: Adults and Families, Youth, and Food Systems that will be delivered in all 120 Kentucky counties plus from July 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018 the UK messaging Campaign, PSE/CEDIK , Altarum Assessment, Mobile Technologies and Farmers' Marketing Social Marketing projects will be concluded.
