Abstract

Most youth participating in the Extension Service's 4-H Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) were urban and from families with annual incomes of less than $4,000. Nearly 40 percent of the youth were from families where the homemaker was also participating in the EFNEP. About 40 percent of the youth were black and an equal percentage were white. Sixty percent were between the ages of 9 and 14 years, and the majority were girls. More than two-thirds of the youth participated on a continuing basis in the 4-H EFNEP and more than 40 percent participated in short-term activities such as workshops and field trips and mass audience activities. Primary teaching methods included nutrition games, demonstrations, visual aids, and role playing.
