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 pre‐to post education. The difference between the graduated and terminated groups approached statistical significance using a t‐test comparison (p = .055). A multiple regression analysis indicated that food insecurity score decreased significantly more in graduates (p < .001). A dose response relationship was seen between the number of lessons received and decreases in food insecurity. Programs that educate low‐income families in food selection and resource management skills can decrease the risk of food insecurity, although effects vary by socio demographic characteristics of participants and program delivery methods
