Abstract

Objective: We documented the nutritional quality of a weekend food backpack program with 5 bag types tailored for ethnic food preferences and reported participants' satisfaction and usage of the program.

Methods: The Healthy Eating Index-2020 scores were calculated to assess the quality of the food items by bag type. We also recruited 49 caregivers of elementary school-aged children in Minnesota using multilingual flyers from December, 2022 to May, 2023. Caregivers' program satisfaction and usage were assessed through online surveys.

Results: The Healthy Eating Index-2020 total scores ranged from 67 to 83 across the bag type. Participants liked 90% of the food items and used all or some of the items in 79% of the bags.

Conclusion and implications: A tailored weekend food backpack program can provide high-quality food with high satisfaction and usage. Further research is needed to determine whether such tailored programs can improve food security and diet quality.

根据种族和饮食偏好定制的周末背包计划：营养质量、计划使用情况和家长满意度。

目的我们记录了一项周末食物背包计划的营养质量，该计划根据不同种族的食物偏好定制了 5 种袋子类型，并报告了参与者对该计划的满意度和使用情况：方法：我们计算了 "健康饮食指数-2020"（Healthy Eating Index-2020 ）的得分，以评估不同袋型的食品质量。我们还在 2022 年 12 月至 2023 年 5 月期间使用多语种传单招募了明尼苏达州 49 名小学学龄儿童的看护人。我们通过在线调查评估了照顾者对项目的满意度和使用情况：结果：2020 年健康饮食指数总分从 67 分到 83 分不等。参与者喜欢 90% 的食品，并使用了 79% 背包中的全部或部分食品：结论与启示：量身定制的周末食物背包计划可以提供高质量的食物，并获得较高的满意度和使用率。还需要进一步研究，以确定这种量身定制的计划是否能提高食品安全和饮食质量。
