| Just Released: Interpretive Guide for SNAP-Ed Evaluation Framework |
|
|
USDA's SNAP-ED is excited to announce the release of the Interpretive Guide (IG) to accompany the SNAP-Ed Evaluation Framework. The goal for this package of resources is to
h
elp stakeholders work together at state and local levels. The expanded resource can make users more competitive for public funds by incorporating CDC, MCH, state and local funding priorites, along with SNAP-Ed.
The Framework and IG include a menu of 51 indicators and related metrics, that align with evidence-based national recommendations for healthy eating, active living and obesity prevention.
Among the new indicators are those for public/private partnerships; program and community-wide recognition programs; media coverage and behaviors; food systems; leveraged resources; sustainability plans; and unexpected benefits. National data sources inform indicators for changes in Policy, Systems and Environment (PSE).
The IG is designed to also be useful with coalitions as well. Coaliton
approaches reach individuals and groups with direct service;
reach large segments of the low-income population with community and public health;
and provide comprehensive interventions in environmental settings.
Check this resource often. The IG will be updated with experience and USDA's SNAP-Ed Connections website has been restructured as the virtual home for all things SNAP-Ed.
