Article Abstract
Objective: Provide the first baseline census of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) state implementing agencies' (SIAs) intent to use and evaluate 51 indicators described in the SNAP-Ed Evaluation Framework.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to administer electronic surveys to 124 SIAs who received SNAP-Ed funding in 2017. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the results.
Results: Of 51 indicators, SIAs reported their intent to impact an average of 19 indicators and evaluate an average of 12. More SIAs reported the intention to impact indicators at the individual (59%) and environmental levels (48%), compared with the sectors of influence (20%) and population levels (30%) of the framework. In addition, more SIAs intended to impact and evaluate short- or medium-term indicators, compared with long-term indicators.
Conclusions And Implications: These findings illustrate the progress made toward aggregating metrics to measure the collective impact of SNAP-Ed.

There is potential value in combining education with policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) change strategies in school-based dietary and physical activity (PA) interventions. We investigated the impact of different combinations of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) interventions on diet and PA and determined if student and school characteristics modified these impacts. A quasi-experimental, two-group (intervention (I) and comparison (C)), pre-post design examined the impact of interventions on diet and PA of 4th /5th grade students (n=2,115;n=1,102) in SNAP-Ed-eligible California public schools (n=51;n=18).

Nutrition education, framed within Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) guidance, was provided to SNAP-eligible shoppers at community supported agriculture (CSA) sites in Michigan where SNAP nutrition incentives were accepted. An evaluation was conducted on data sources from sites where the CSA Food Navigator program was implemented to assess the delivery of nutrition education, understand the needs and experiences of SNAP-eligible shoppers, and measure behavioral outcomes. A multi-phase, mixed-methods design incorporated (1) outcome surveys with SNAP-eligible shoppers at participating CSA sites; (2) open-ended feedback surveys from CSA site staff; (3) nutrition educator activity logs; (4) a semi-structured nutrition educator focus group; and (5) semi-structured focus groups with SNAP-eligible shoppers.
