Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine implementation of serving food and beverage evidence-based practices (nutrition EBPs) across CACFP participating licensed childcare centers (CCCs, n = 51) and family childcare homes (FCCHs, n = 49) in central California. Results indicated that FCCHs reported significantly higher (p < .05) implementation of nutrition EBPs and barriers than CCCs. Both CCCs and FCCHs refer families to WIC/SNAP when they observe child food insecurity and control how much food is served to children. It is important to consider organizational structure (CCCs, FCCHs) and child food insecurity when developing policies/interventions for improving implementation of nutrition EBPs in ECEs.
本研究的目的是检查加州中部CACFP参与的持证托儿中心(CCCs, n = 51)和家庭托儿之家(FCCHs, n = 49)提供食品和饮料的循证实践(营养ebp)的实施情况。结果表明，与CCCs相比，FCCHs报告的营养EBPs和屏障的实施显著高于CCCs (p < 0.05)。CCCs和FCCHs在观察到儿童粮食不安全并控制向儿童提供多少食物时，都将家庭推荐给WIC/SNAP。在制定政策/干预措施以改善中东欧国家营养EBPs的实施时，重要的是要考虑组织结构(CCCs、FCCHs)和儿童粮食不安全问题。
