Objective:
To characterize the nutrition education landscape among Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) projects to inform future evaluations of GusNIP.
Methods:
Nutrition education activities provided by GusNIP-affiliated project sites were collected through annual data reports submitted via a secure web portal. A descriptive analysis was used to calculate frequencies and percentages for all variables (e.g., project site, nutrition education activities) to explore and compare nutrition education provided by GusNIP projects and sites (n = 93).
Results:
Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program projects employed diverse nutrition education opportunities, including various venues, unique partnerships, and educational strategies, which differed across project and site types.
Conclusions And Implications:
This paper characterizes the frequency and intensity of nutrition education offered within GusNIP and is an important step toward understanding, improving, and expanding nutrition education opportunities. Findings inform a future comprehensive evaluation across projects to understand the impact of reach, dose, and participant engagement in nutrition education and reveal important opportunities for program improvement.
