1 Maryland SNAP-Ed: Producing Change Talking Points FSNE Impact Data Updated April 2018

2 Maryland SNAP-Ed Produces Change: FSNE Impact Data Talking Points The University of Maryland Extension Food Supplement Nutrition Education (FSNE) Program provides nutrition education to low-income Maryland residents. The goal of the educational programming is to improve the health and well-being of SNAP-eligible participants by encouraging healthy choices and active lifestyles. FSNE assesses the nutrition and physical activity impacts of its programming through the use of statewide evaluation tools and measures. The data is then aggregated to present a comprehensive statewide picture of FSNE programming in Maryland. The current document highlights nutrition-related behavioral changes as reported by participants in FSNE programming. It also identifies health-promoting policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) changes made at sites that partner with FSNE. The FSNE Impact Data Talking Points document presents statewide impact data first by outcome type (individual-level behavior changes or environmental-level changes) and then by the specific nutrition education curriculum that was utilized with the target audience. Finally, the document concludes with general talking points from national health organizations. These statements provide the foundation for FSNE programming and serve as reference points for behavioral change goals. ** Note: Throughout the document, an apple icon ( ) appears next to some of the talking points. This icon indicates that a graphic was designed to further explicate the finding. The graphic immediately follows the relevant talking point. Page 1 of 29
