Exploring Capacity for Future Sustainability of Healthy Eating Policy, Systems, and Environmental Change Strategies Previously Implemented Through SNAP-Ed Programming

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the sustainability of healthy eating strategies implemented through SNAP-Ed programming.
Assessment of various PSE strategies
Evaluation of sites' capacities for sustainability
Examination of team approaches in strategy implementation
Most PSE strategies examined were maintained
Variability in sites' capacity for future sustainability
Need for leadership involvement from SNAP-Ed eligible individuals

Abstract

Most PSE strategies examined had been maintained, though not all the sites demonstrated high capacity for future strategy sustainability. Findings underscore the need to ensure a team approach in implementing PSE strategies that include leadership from people previously eligible for SNAP-Ed programming. Because of the elimination of SNAP-Ed funding, the findings can help inform the development and delivery of future nutrition education and promotion programs.
