Demonstrating Impact Through Replicable Analysis: Implications of an Evaluation of Arkansas\u27s Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program

Abstract

The evaluation described in this article focused on the effectiveness of Arkansas\u27s Extension-based Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) but demonstrates an analytic approach that may be useful across Extension programs. We analyzed data from 1,810 Arkansas EFNEP participants\u27 entry and exit Behavior Checklists to assess reliability of the checklist tool and explore behavior changes. The results demonstrate continued effectiveness of Arkansas EFNEP in delivering impactful health-related programming. Details of our process may provide direction for program leaders in determining which programmatic areas need attention to improve outcomes and in identifying best practices within particular program areas
