Nutrition Education for Families in Indiana

This study is looking at how a nutrition education program, called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed), can help families in Indiana. Researchers want to see if SNAP-Ed can improve how secure families are with their food supply (food security) and the quality of their diet, especially for children. They believe that improving food security might first show benefits in children's diets. You might be able to join if you live in Indiana, have children, speak English, are eligible for SNAP, and are willing to wait one year to receive SNAP-Ed. The study aims to enroll 300 families and is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
