Like many features of the media landscape, the current ratings systems may be taken for granted in the absence of med…

The Impact of Nutrition Education on Food Insecurity among Low‐Income Participants in Efnep
The impact of nutrition education on food security status was assessed in a multiethnic, low‐income population using a pretest‐posttest comparison group design. Data were collected over 3 years from participants (N = 16,146) in the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) in New York State who either graduated or terminated involvement prior to graduation. Both groups had a significant decrease in food insecurity score (p < .05) from…

No significant relationships were found between family variables and children's preferences for sweet foods. Children's frequency of consumption of sweet foods was in…
