Objective:
To identify the readiness of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) implementers to facilitate policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) changes in conjunction with delivering direct nutrition education.
Design:
Qualitative study using semistructured interviews.
Setting:
A southeastern state.
Participants:
Purposive sample of SNAP-Ed staff (n = 19) from state implementing agencies (n = 3) in 1 state.
Phenomenon Of Interest:
Readiness using the validated framework: readiness equals motivation coupled with general-capacities and innovation-specific capacities (R = MC2).
Analysis:
Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analyzed using an iterative approach to the analysis via emergent coding and constant comparison.
Results:
Although a general sense of motivation is present among implementers to meet the new federal guidelines, nutrition education is still prioritized. General capacity for SNAP-Ed implementers, comprised communication, training, and funding and staffing, was limited. Innovation-specific capacities around the implementation of PSEs revealed limited knowledge, experience, and resources among most implementers.
Conclusions And Implications:
Identifying the nuanced and interrelated aspects of motivation and capacity of SNAP-Ed implementers to incorporate PSEs into their direct education interventions could inform tailored strategies for increasing readiness, such as through training, reallocation of resources, or program restructuring.
