Program evaluation, January to July 1969, Expanded Food and Nutrition education Program

Abstract: This report presents a summary of general conclusions and recommendations resulting from an evaluation of the initial phase of the Cooperative Extension System (CES) Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program. The assessment, conducted from January through July 1969, was intended to look at the program in depth at a selected sample of sites in seven states. Evaluation findings are intended to supplement statistical data being collected from all program sites. The strengths of the program center around its ability to come rapidly into being with high acceptance. Its present difficulties center around the formidable task for any social program of demonstrating a real and lasting impact on family living.
