Abstract

A mixed method research project using quantitative and qualitative techniques assessed the long-term impacts of the EFENP and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed)in Wyoming. Adults who participated in the Wyoming program at least one and up to four years previous to the research, completed an 18 item behavior checklist. They filled out the checklist when they enrolled in classes, when they graduated, and at follow-up. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to learn more about changes related to food and nutrition behaviors, as well as other life changes attributable to their involvement in the program.
