成人直播 attendees contribute to national SNAP-Ed conference
The Center for Excellence in Public Health (CEPH) had a strong presence at the annual meeting of SNAP-Ed implementing agents. The Association of SNAP Nutrition Education Administrators (ASNNA) hosts this event each year to position agents from across the US to discuss emerging policy issues and share best practices. The event was held virtually from February 1-3.
Not surprisingly, this year鈥檚 conference offered a significant focus on public health approaches to alleviating hunger during the pandemic. Another recurring theme was equity in programming and planning.
CEPH Senior Research Associates Pamela Bruno, MPH, and Kira Rodriguez, MHS, presented on their work, as did Obesity Prevention Coordinator Hannah Ruhl, MPH, and Emily Estell, RDN, MPH, a nutrition educator from 成人直播鈥檚 Coastal Healthy Communities Coalition at the College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Collectively, these 成人直播 professionals highlighted their work in social marketing and media, program evaluation, COVID-19鈥檚 impact on program delivery, and virtual training strategies. They also participated in panel presentations highlighting their recent research and practice collaborations with academic peers from partner universities, sharing lessons learned and emerging evidence.
成人直播 implements Maine SNAP-Ed through a contract with Maine鈥檚 Office for Family Independence with funding from the US Department of Agriculture. The program addresses food insecurity and obesity prevention in low-resource communities across the state.
