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.
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.
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.
These findings illustrate the progress made toward aggregating metrics to measure the collective impact of SNAP-Ed.
提供首个补充营养援助计划教育(SNAP-Ed)州执行机构(SIA)使用和评估 SNAP-Ed 评估框架中描述的 51 项指标的基本情况普查。
采用横断面研究设计,对 2017 年获得 SNAP-Ed 资金的 124 个 SIA 进行电子调查。采用描述性统计方法分析结果。
在 51 项指标中,SIA 报告称其有意影响平均 19 项指标并评估平均 12 项指标。与框架的影响领域(20%)和人口水平(30%)相比,更多的 SIA 表示有意影响个人(59%)和环境(48%)层面的指标。此外,与长期指标相比,SIA 更倾向于影响和评估短期或中期指标。
这些发现说明了在汇总指标以衡量 SNAP-Ed 的集体影响方面取得的进展。
