To determine whether shopper-reported availability of foods from Minnesota food shelves and the importance of cultural foods/cooking items differed by demographic characteristics.
Methods
Cross-sectional survey of food pantry shoppers (n = 4,680) who visited more than or equal monthly with choice over food selection.
Results
Hispanic and Black shoppers had higher odds of reporting produce, eggs, and cooking items were always available than White shoppers (odds ratio [OR] > 1.35; P < 0.001–0.02). The odds of Asian participants reporting that meat, poultry, and fish were always available were lower than White participants (OR, 0.55; P = 0.002). Asian, Black, Hispanic, and male shoppers had higher odds of indicating the importance of culturally-specific food and cooking item availability than their counterparts (White, females, respectively) (OR, 1.7–6.1; P <0.001).
Conclusions and Implications
Inequities exist in the availability of healthy and culturally-specific foods in food pantries that could be addressed via food-sourcing policies/strategies and food bank distribution efforts.

Objective
Compare the effectiveness of instructional videos with print handouts when educating family medicine patients about the use of herbs and spices to reduce sodium, saturated fat, and added sugars during meal preparation.
Design
Enrollees were randomized to either view 5 short videos or read 3 handouts. The intervention was implemented while patients waited for their provider to begin their appointment. Postintervention surveys were completed on the patient's smartphone.
Setting
Penn State Health family medicine clinics.
Participants
Patients who attended in-person appointments between September 2022 and August 2023 (n = 102).
Main Outcome Measure(s)
The impact of video and handout intervention on participants’ interest, confidence, knowledge, and intention to use herbs and spices and their perceptions of the intervention.
Analysis
Descriptive statistics summarized sample characteristics; t tests compared video and handout groups.
Results
The video group had higher scores for interest, confidence, and intention to use herbs and spices. Participants perceived the videos as clearer (P = 0.001) and more appropriately complex (P = 0.02) than the handout materials.
Conclusions and Implications
Videos were superior to handouts in promoting interest, confidence, and intention to use herbs and spices for healthier cooking. Videos may improve patient engagement and preventive health care practices in clinical settings.

Objective
To validate a Brief Physical Activity Assessment Tool for the Expanded Food and Nutrition Program (EFNEP).
Design
Phase 1: test-retest reliability based on 2 survey administrations; Phase 2: concurrent validity triangulated with accelerometer data; Phase 3: sensitivity to change and responsiveness and secondary analysis of EFNEP national dataset.
Setting
Community centers and/or EFNEP classes across the US.
Test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and sensitivity to change and responsiveness.
Analysis
Test-retest reliability: intraclass correlation, κ, and Spearman correlation coefficient (SCC); concurrent validity: SCC; sensitivity to change: standardized response mean, effect size, and paired t tests; responsiveness: minimal important difference.
Results
The Brief Physical Activity Assessment Tool's test-retest results were moderate (intraclass correlation = 0.77–0.84; κ = 0.55–0.61; SCC = 0.59–0.84). Concurrent validity differed by questions but was highest for the muscle-strengthening question (SCC = 0.87). All questions demonstrated moderate sensitivity to change and responsiveness. Patterns between non-Hispanics and Hispanics were similar.
Conclusions and Implications
The study resulted in a brief, validated, nationally tested questionnaire for evaluating physical activity changes for non-Hispanic adults with limited resources, which could be included in short surveys. It could be further validated among other populations.

Objective
To assess the changes in child nutrition status, caregivers’ knowledge, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices following the provision of Harvest Lentil Vegetable Blend to children and a nutrition education intervention to their caregivers.
Design
Three-week pretest-posttest study.
Setting
Turkana, Kenya.
Participants
Children aged 6–59 months (n = 162) and their caregivers (n = 127) completed the intervention, representing > 70% retention.
Interventions
Provision of Harvest Lentil Vegetable Blend to children and nutrition education intervention for caregivers on child feeding and WASH practices.
Main Outcomes Measures
Children's anthropometric measurements, caregivers’ nutrition knowledge, and WASH practices.
Analysis
Wilcoxon signed rank and McNemar tests.
Results
At baseline, 19%, 24%, and 35% of children were stunted, underweight, and wasted, respectively. At the endpoint, the weight-for-age z-scores increased by 0.61 (P = 0.04) for children 6–12 months and by 0.31 (P = 0.03) for children 13–47 months. Weight-for-height z-scores increased by 0.84 (P = 0.04) among children 6–12 months and by 0.42 (P = 0.04) among children 13–47 months. The proportion of caregivers who reported washing hands after defecation and before cooking increased by 37% and 26%, respectively (P = 0.001).
Conclusions and Implications
An on-site feeding program that used nutrient-dense supplemental food was associated with positive changes in children's nutrition status within a short duration. Nutrition education intervention increased the proportion of caregivers who practiced some key WASH practices.

Community sites in 4 states and New Jersey EFNEP secondary program data.
Participants
Nineteen sixth-12th graders were interviewed; secondary data included 164 ninth-12th graders.
Variables Measured
Content, face, and criterion validity; internal reliability.
Analysis
Iterative template analysis to gauge conceptual understanding; exploratory factor analysis with orthogonal Varimax rotation, interitem correlations, and Cronbach α; Spearman correlations and Bland-Altman plots against the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents and Youth Risk Behavior Survey questions.
Results
Fourteen questions with acceptable face validity were developed. One item (handwashing) had a ceiling effect and was removed. Eleven of the remaining 13 items were loaded onto 4 factors. The remaining 2 items were kept because of conceptual relevance. The questionnaire demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity overall, but subscale Cronbach α values ranged from 0.53–0.75.
Conclusions and Implications
This 13-item questionnaire was presented to national EFNEP program leaders and was implemented by EFNEP in October 2023. Further research could establish temporal reliability and gold standard criterion validity estimates with a multistate sample of sixth through 12th graders.

Objective
To understand how Osage Nation community members define healthy eating and develop a corresponding nutrition curriculum through community engagement.
Design
This project comprised a concurrent embedded mixed methods group concept mapping (GCM) study followed by focus group discussions (FGD) to provide feedback on a nutrition curriculum.
Setting
Osage Nation, Oklahoma.
Participants
In the GCM study, 54 participants were recruited from a study of an Indigenous-supported agriculture program. GCM study participants and the Go Healthy Advisory Group participated in 2 FGDs.
Phenomenon of Interest
For the first study, concepts related to healthy eating were explored. In the second study, participants provided feedback on curriculum clarity, perceived efficacy, and relevance.
Analysis
In the first study, a multidimensional scaling algorithm was used to plot statements, and concept clusters were interpreted in a facilitated meeting with participants. A basic content analysis approach was used in the second study.
Results
Five concept clusters related to healthy eating were identified. These clusters were used to generate an 8-module curriculum deemed clear, potentially efficacious, and relevant among FGD participants.
Conclusions and Implications
Community members contributed to a framework of healthy eating for the Osage community, which was used to develop a nutrition curriculum that will be integrated into an Indigenous-supported agriculture program. Future research should explore long-term sustainability and the broader cultural impacts of nutrition programs on Indigenous health and food sovereignty.
