Objective:
To determine how the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) affects the quality of life (QoL) of its exemplary paraprofessional educators.
Methods:
Qualitative telephone interviews with EFNEP supervisors (15), educators (28), and agency partners (15). Template analysis based on the University of Toronto's QoL constructs.
Results:
The EFNEP had a positive impact on 6 of 9 a priori categories: physical being, psychological being, social belonging, community belonging, practical becoming, and growth becoming.
Conclusions And Implications:
The EFNEP enhances the QoL of its exemplary educators, which suggests that the program's benefits go beyond those documented in participants.
