Area of Science:
- Public Health Nutrition
- Health Education
- Behavioral Science
Background:
- Emerging adults (18-25 years) in the US have the lowest diet quality, impacting health and academics.
- Current nutrition programs often neglect this demographic, especially those without children.
Purpose of the Study:

- To address the gap in tailored nutrition interventions for this population.
Main Methods:
- Adapted an existing program, incorporating literature review, focus groups, and a curriculum committee.
- Developed a 5-lesson curriculum including nutrition education, cooking demonstrations, and physical activity.
- Utilized process evaluation (focus groups, interviews) and outcome evaluation (pre/post surveys on diet, physical activity, food safety, resource management).
Main Results:
- The Fuel to Thrive program is currently being piloted at a Texas university.
- Future implementations are planned for Fall 2025 and Spring 2026.
- The Short Healthy Eating Index Survey will be integrated to enhance diet quality assessment.
Conclusions:
- The Fuel to Thrive program effectively targets a critical need for nutrition education among emerging adults.
- Program refinement based on feedback and expanded evaluation are planned.
- The long-term goal is national dissemination to improve population health outcomes.
