States and organizations are implementing comprehensive nutrition education and obesity prevention programs around the country as one approach to address
the rise in childhood obesity. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed), the nutrition education and obesity prevention arm of the SNAP, aims to increase the likelihood that SNAP-Ed eligible households will make healthy diet and physical
activity choices within a limited budget. To establish a mechanism to evaluate program effectiveness and report results to funders, NCCOR, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), the Association of SNAP Nutrition
Education Administrators (ASNNA), and more than 28 states, contributed and developed the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP‐Ed)
Evaluation Framework: Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity Prevention Indicators. NCCOR is hosting a two-part Connect & Explore webinar series on the
SNAP-Ed Evaluation Framework and Interpretive Guide. The first webinar “SNAP-Ed Evaluation Framework: Measuring Success in Low-Income Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Programs”
will be held August 18.
