The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) Physical Activity project examines how physical activity can be better integrated into nutrition education for adults with limited resources. This project focuses on understanding the experiences of EFNEP peer educators, the barriers and facilitators to teaching physical activity and exploring strategies to strengthen physical activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This work is part of the NC3169: EFNEP Related Research, Program Evaluation and Outreach, a multistate research initiative that brings together researchers and Extension professionals to strengthen EFNEP through research, evaluation and outreach. Participating states include Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through qualitative interviews with EFNEP peer educators across the four National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) regions of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), our research examines educators\u2019 experiences integrating physical activity into adult nutrition education, including the strategies they use, barriers they encounter, and training and resources they need. Findings inform the development of professional development opportunities to strengthen educators\u2019 confidence and skills in delivering effective, engaging, and culturally responsive physical activity education. Ultimately, this work aims to support EFNEP educators, strengthen physical activity programming, and promote physical activity among the communities EFNEP serves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
