Household Size, Food Insecurity and Fruit and Vegetable Intake of Keiki Produce Prescription (Kprx) Program Participants
Fruit and vegetable (FV) intake is low among individuals residing in homes that experience food insecurity (FI). Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (NHOPI) populations experience increased risk for FI and low FV intake. Household size may impact the resources available to address FI and FV. The Keiki (child) Produce Prescription (KPRx) Program was introduced to reduce address FI and FV intake among predominantly NHOPI children. (Source: Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior)

Mixed Methods Investigation of Diet Quality and Nutrition-Related Behavior During Pregnancy
Suboptimal diet quality during pregnancy places mothers and babies at risk for adverse short- and long-term health outcomes. Improving prenatal dietary intake can support maternal health and place babies on a developmental trajectory that mitigates disease risk. Pregnancy is also described as a “teachable moment” whereby individuals have increased interest in making healthy choices for their baby. To cultivate healthier future generations, further information is needed to understand the complexities of nutrition behavior at this time. (Source: Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior)

Perception of NUEVA (Nutrition for Underserved Elders via Application) Usability During Alpha-Testing
Older adults (60 years+) have unique nutrition needs and circumstances. To address their individual requirements, many technological innovations are emerging to provide the necessary resources for this largely underserved population. To enhance participation in the senior nutrition programs, a multifunctional app, NUEVA, was created to optimize recruitment, assessment, nutrition intervention, and the participant experience. The development was informed with a user-centered design (UCD) framework including collaboration with community partners associated with senior nutrition programs.   (Source: Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior)

Skin Carotenoid Status May Provide Insight Into Overall Diet Quality in Adolescents
Demonstrated by a low consumption of healthful foods like fruits and vegetables (FV) and an overconsumption of unhealthy foods like sugar-sweetened beverages, adolescents adhere to recommendations within the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) the least across all age groups. Promoting adherence to the DGA is vital for adolescents, since many behaviors established during adolescence may transpire into adulthood. Assessing diet quality (DQ) is important for the development of effective dietary interventions; however, there is no objective marker of overall DQ and self-reported DQ measures have limitations.

Test-Retest Reliability of the MIND Diet Screener in Oldest-Old Adults
Dietary screeners offer quick yet valid indicators of adherence to healthful dietary patterns. The MIND (Mediterranean-DASH diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) diet screener assesses a dietary pattern associated with cognitive health and has been validated in older adults. However, its test-retest reliability in oldest-old adults at high risk of dementia and possible compromised recall requires investigation. (Source: Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior)

“Autism Eats:” Preliminary Analyses of a Nutrition Education Intervention for Toddlers With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience up to 5 times more feeding problems, including problematic mealtime behaviors and food selectivity (ie, a narrow variety of foods), compared to their neurotypical peers, which may increase the risk for developing poor eating behaviors. A pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) is being conducted to determine whether a nutrition education intervention for toddlers with ASD is efficacious to improve mealtime and eating behaviors compared to the enhanced usual care (EUC) group.
