Your 1996 Nutrition Education Plan is approved. The suggestions I have are, the meals cooked for your staff could be used as -outreach; many people think that commodities are inferior products, the menu could consist of all commodities, and the recipes developed could be collected in a manual to give to the recipients. The staff would be asked to spread the word about how nutritious and good the food was. Since many recipients do not like the non fat skim milk, your project could develop innovative ways to use this product in every meal, such as drinks, bakery products, and vegetable dishes.

ANALYSES OF DATA OBTAINED The following is a detailed analysis ofall data obtained -as a result of giving the client interviewquestionnairesurvey. All percentage points were rounded to the nearest integer, with the exception of those that range belowa whole percentile which arexiecimaliaed. Analyticalassessments werexieduced from method of tabulation as -expressed inihe following mathematicalstatements, 337+10O=3.37; (response-totals=M Count) -M Count+3.37=x%; x%=given percentiles; margin of error=.6%. 3a. QUESTION#1 The greater majority of clients served -are thoseages 113 (46%), tollowed by infants ages 0-1 Year (26%) and seniors (24)%). Pregnant (3%) and breast feeding (1%) women make up the population least servedty Denver CSFP. SPECULATIVE ASSESSMENT: The low percentile points for pregnant -and breast feeding women can be directly attributed to Denver WICserving those individuals whom they have determined to be priority -one, high -risk clients — that is, Denver WIC has determined that-allpregnantand-breast feeding women are at risk. This determination was made without the input of Denver CSFP and steps are being taken to regain the participation of these particular population groupings. Evidence offhisassumption may be obtained by reviewing correlative data involving decreasing participation figures and funding for Denver CSFP in the area of pregnant and breast feeding women and increasing figures in the sameareas for Denver WIC. 3h. QUESTION *2 Thegreater majority of participants agree thatiheaervices rendered by Denver CSFP are verygood (6t3%), tollowed by those clients -who rate services rendered as -good (31%). Only oneperoent (1%) indicated that services -rendered were bad and no clients rated servicesas very bad. SPECULATIVE ASSESSMENT: Given hat a very high level ofolient satisfaction is reflected in thegiven percentiles, it can beassumed that Denver CSFP is exceptionallyadept-at delivering qualityclient service. This assumption contrasts sharply in a positive manner -with current public opinion concerning government services rendered in America today. 5 951999 1995 PLAN OP OPERATION -CLIENT NUTRITION QUESTIONAIRE SURVEY -RESULTS CONT. 3c. QUESTION #3 A littleover one-third (1/3) of those clients surveyed refuse no food items (37%). Dry milk wasthe most refused item (24%), followed by corn meal (14%) and egg -mix (13%) respectively. Farina received four -percent (4%), followed by instant potatoes at two-perc-ent (2%), dry cereal, evaporated mild, and infant cereal, all atone -percent (1%). Canned meat. canned juice, and peanut butter all -received percentage points of less thanonepercent (specifically .8%). Likewise, dry beans, butter, and formula also fall below the one -percentile mark (specifically .2%). SPECULATIVE ASSESSMENT: Those who -refuse no -rood Items (37%) are obviously satisfied with _all food products being distributed by Denver CSFP, possiblya reflection of current economic trends and public -concerns regarding possible economic downturns. Please see subsection 3d for speculative assessment forpossible reasoning behind -client refusals. 3d. QUESTION #4 Almost one-half (1/2) of participants surveyed do not refuse items (41%). Almost one-third (1/3)of participants-surveyed-agreethatthe reason they refuse items is because they -don't like the products (29%). Almost one- third (1/3) of those surveyed indicate that they refuse food items either because they don'tdcnow-how to use the products (15%) orTeceive too much per month (15%). SPECULATIVE ASSESSMENT: Given that thexgreater majority ofparticipants (41%) never refuse food Items, a deductioncanbe made that most clients havenoxirfticutties with the food Items distributed by Denver CSFP. Dislike of certain food items (29%) is the -primary reason clients seem to refuse food items suchas dry milk, corn meal, and egg mix, followed by -those who either don't know how to use the items (15%) yr believe they -receive too much of the products per -month (t5%)_ Adirect correlation exists between the dislike of certain foods and a lack of understanding of how to use the foods, which in turn can mean -that the products, if taken, go unused in -client households, possibly leading to the incorrect conclusion (on the client's part) that too much is received each month. For example, a client may not use the egg mix received because the taste of dehydrated eggs is somewhat different to -the adult pallet than is the taste -of fresh -eggs. after growing accustomed throughout life to eating '6 O 951999 1995PIAN OF OPERATION- CLIENT NUTRITION QUESTIONAIRE SURVEY RESULTS CONT. fresh, as opposed to dehydrated eggs, the general conclusion clientsiend to draw is that they dislike dehydrated -eggs and so refuse the item thereafter. However, when apprised ofthefact, either through literature -or client/staff communication, that dehydrated eggs can be used in many of the culinary applications clients regularly engage in on a -daily basis, such as French Toast, cake making, quiche, pancakes. breading coagulant for frying preparatory measures, etcetera. In short, when clients are informed that dehydrated eggs can be used in much the same way asiresh eggs, often this item ceases to become a refused item. Likewise, in their refusals of dry milk , there is no direct indication that clients do not like the product, but they could be using the prescribed mixture of evaporated milk and dry milk incorrectly, showing a preference for richer tasting milk drink than the prescribed mixture yields. Contributing -to the disparate refusal percentiles in dry milk (24%) as opposed to evaporated milk (4%) may reflect the fact that clients are mere apprised of how to use evaporated milk in cooking and baking, lowing to ongoing aggressive advertising campaigns set funward by Uie manutactunng arm of Carnation Evaporated Milk (i.e. for years, this manufacturer has included in their advertisements recipes involving the use of evaporated milk in cooking). These same measures were not as aggressivelypursued in advertising for dry milk, meaning clients need -to be made more aware that dry milk can also be used in cooking and food preparation, not just as a drinkable food product. 3e. QUESTION #5' The survey population was divided very nearly in thirds concerning the use of recipe and factsheets. Thirty -nine -percent (39%) of clients surveyed indicate that they sometimes take recipe and fact sheets for use in their home cooking, following by those who seldom do so (31%) and those who -always do so (30%)Tespectively. SPECULATIVE ASSESSMENT: Most clients do take advantage of recipe and fact 5heet5 'concerning the use of supplemental foods, whether it be consistently (30%) or occasionally (39%). Almost one-third (1/3), however, seldom take advantage ofthese available items (31%). The deduction is then that, while a -majority of clients use this education literature, nearly one-third of • those surveyed are not being reached regarding the importance of such literature in their cooking with supplemental foods and so -could be basically unclear -about how to use certain food items distributed. Supermarkets tend to display recipes for food items beside the bin whichcorresponding food items are stocked.

Thirty -eight -percent (38%)surveyed indicate they ere not interested. SPECULATIVE ASSESSMENT: Most participants are interested in learning more about nutrition and cooking with supplemental foods. Thirty -eight -percent (38%) indicate -that they are not interested, which could mean that theytiave no interest in learning about how to better provide for the -nutrition of themselves -and their families; however, a more plausible answer could be found in two alternate explanations: Clients are not being aggressively pursued through advertising oT theienefits of the nutrition education being offered or the information that canoe obtained through _classes in cooking with supplemental foods. One reason -for -this could be that Denver CSf P's 1295 Cooking Classes were postponed due to complication regarding liability insurance, a problem Denver CSFP Is taking steps to solve. It is possible that the survey results were skewed by factors involving human error and basic communication. For example, adults who have literacy problems and who are given a survey to complete will sometimes check the first item in each category, hoping it to be a positive answer, rather than explaining that they are unable to read the survey. In addition, those clients who are in -a hurry will often respond much in the same way. Thesedifficulties in:urveytaking methods revolvearound problems inherent in multiple-choice questioning -techniques and may be solved by changing the artier of responses available and combining multiple-choice questions with questions requiring -written responses#hat are tagged with and correspond to particular values.

The least -desiredfutureclient benefit ismore nutrition videos (3%). SPECULATIVE ASSESSMENT: Most clients -prefer having -more recipes and fact sheets available to them to take home. Although nutrition newsletters, -games and activities for children, food demonstrations, private counseling, and nutrition videos seem to be lessened in demand by the desire for more basic literature on thesupplemental foods themselves, it should be noted that mostpeople do not go to a food distribution outlet with the idea of spending a great deal of time. All client benefits beyond giving recipe and nutrition literature involve clients staying at the facility to engage in activities in -addition to the time they spend picking up -their food and certifying. This behavior is a reflection of the fact that must -Denver CSFP clients are not public assistance -recipients, but work and so have very little time to manage their households, let alone make themselves available for activities not associated with work or child-care. This means there:re likely otherfactors in playbeside the promotion of (or lack of promotion as the case may be)clientbenefits. The lack of interest in nutrition counseling could be the result -of actual -disinterest; however, it could also be a reflection of society's view of the term counseling, which can have -negative connotations. The term counseling is viewed as negative possibly because the terms psychological counseling and legal _counseling often prompt negative reactions. The terms are -also generically referred to in these professions (especially in -the case otpsychological counseling) simply'as counseling. In general, people don't like to be counseled, unless court ordered to do -so. They done mind being advised, but they don't like to be -counseled. Although the two terms are virtually Interchangeable, -advised carries an air of choice, whereas counseling has a more ominous sound, suggesting the idea of being compelled through necessity ofsome sort. 31. QUESTION #10 The greater majority of participants surveyed indicate that the availability -of transportation is not an issue when comingtopick up supplemental foods (67%).

The determination of eli-gibility and certification of clients for the women, infants and children's -portion of CSF-P was processed -at the MCHD until May of 1995. The program for the Elderly is managed at the warehouse where the CSFP commodities are stored and dispensed to the clients. During an evaluation of our CSFP by a Masters in Nursing student in 1954 it was noted that 30% of the cli-ents who certified for commodities did not pick up their foods. It was decided to move the certification process to the warehouse in an attempt to increase caseload by that 3-0%. This change took place in May of 1995. Mesa county's current caseload i-s 19100 for women infants and children. The client -makes an appointment and is seen for certification within 10 working days. As of May 1995 theactualwaiting time was 2 working days. We do not have a waiting listat-this time. Mesa County CSFP warehouse is open for client pickup 9 or -more -days per month and with certifications now being done at the warehouse cli-ents are served at the time of their recertification. The program is managed by a supplemental food clerk [28 hrs/week] under the supervision of Larry Chynoweth the CSFP director. We provide evening hours for client certification until f:0D pm three evenings per week to serve our clients who work. The current CSFP clerk has been with the program for several years and we do try to have her attend some inservices on nutrition. We also have a dietician at the MCHD to evaluate nutrition literature and be available as a consultant for the CSF-P clerk. -The dietician can also see clients in need of special nutritional advice on a limited basis. The client is assessed as to eligibility for CSFP and is given information that the program is a supplemental rather than a total food program. The client is also asked about special nutritional needs for any participant and is told of the importance of the foods being consumed by the person they are prescribed for. Attached is the documentation sheet and the items will have the dates entered when these items have been discussed. #1 The client is given a questionnaire to complete at -each visit [see att-ached] # 2. Part of that questionnaire has a diet recall for participants. The remainder of the questionnaire is to assess family health and their ability to get care. The questionnaire also addresses growth and development, substance abuse and learning problems. On the first certification -visit the client is given the information required by the CSFP protocols. [food stamp information, child support enforcement information, SSI. and medicaid assistance] #3 951999 The Mesa County CSF2 program was fortunate to have a student in the CU. Masters of Science in Nursing -Program who did an evaluation of our program in 1994 and some of the suggestions were as follows. 1: Evening hours at the warehouse. We have evening -hours until 6:pm three evenings per week. 2: More _recipes at the warehouse. We have -made more recipes available to the clients and the Tri - Ztiver Extension office has developed a CSFP cook book that we intend to use for all new clients to the program. This rook book contains tips on shopping, storing food, handling and how to prepare CSFP foods as well as recipes # 4 3: Better map and directions to the warehouse. We are now doing the certifications at the warehouse so this is no longer a problem. 4: Do a survey if possible to find out reasons certified clients fail to pick up their CSFP commodities. -To help with this problem certification was moved to the warehouse in May of 1995. 5: Try to address parking problems. This continues to be a concern and the MCHD is looking for better facilities to house the CSF.P. 7: Classes at the warehouse. 7heplans for cooking demonstrations are still being considered but the facility must meet all MCHD food handling requirements and we are working on being able to meet those requirements. The client questionnaires for one month were -evaluated and the following information was found. 1. 901 of children in families receiving CSFP were current on their immunizations 2. '72% of children had Health Insurance and 61% of the insured had HMO coverage, 4 were on the Colorado CHP. 3. 25% of respondents had health care concerns but only 1 respondent did not have a heath care provider. 4. 44% of people needed dental care, &% had concerns regarding their child's growth and development and 1-0% had some nutrition concerns. 5. 5D% of CSFP families contained a smoker and only 101 of the smokers were interested in information regarding effects of smoking on family members or information on smoking cessation. 6. 67% felt they received enough recipes and 22% felt they could use more recipes. The findings on a client survey of the csn, for the last month indicated the following: 1. 93% reported receiving nutrition information and 95% felt the nutrition Education was useful to them 2. 76% of people traveled 10 miles or less to pick up their food. 77% rated friendly staff as what they liked best about CSFP with food products second at 6D% and location and nutrition -education third at 32% 3. 43% of people have pop and sweets daily 33% eat fruits and vegetables three times a day, 27% twice a day with 10% once a day and four or more times per day. 4. 93% of the people surveyed used recipes provided. 5. -The CSFP recipients would like more information on, picky eaters, children's nutrition, infant nutrition and the nutritional value of the CSFP food package. 6. Foods reported as a problem to use are in order, canned meat, evaporated milk, powdered milk and dry eggs. 951-999 NUTRITION EDUCATION Nutrition education is provided by the CSFP clerk at the time - of certification to the responsible adult as applicable to the individual situation. The questionnaire is reviewed including diet recall and services the family needs to be referred to. Nutrition education is of course tailored for the person receiving the commodities. Ereastfeeding would be encouraged for a pregnant client and information on dietary needs of the pregnant woman would be given to the client.[see attached information # 5 ] Clients have an opportunity to ask questions and recipes are given to the client to use [It has been found from - our survey that clients have problems using canned meat, evaporated milk, powdered milk and egg mix. The nutritional value of the commodities are -discussed when time allows [calcium in milk , Vit. C in juice etc.] We are using the food pyramid in our nutrition education and use many of the WIC materials as hand outs [see attached # 6] Clients are given information on food stamps to increase their ability to buy nutritious foods to round out their diet. Recipes are available at the warehouse for clients to chose and take home with them on all CSFP commodities. On each recertification visit a nutrition topic that is pertinent to the client is discussed. For example, a newborn on formula would be given information as to how much formula that baby requires in 24 hrs and a food guide for the first year. Correct mixing of formula and cleaning of bottles would be discussed. The postpartum mom would be given diet information and be referred to services such as medicaid or CCHP for the baby, immunizations and family planning services for herself. If the mother has many concerns a referral to a public health nurse is made. When that client returns in 6 months the questionnaire is again reviewed for concerns and at this time discussing solids , introducing the cup and preparing baby foods may be the topics discussed. When that client returns at 1 year of age the questionnaire is again assessed for concerns that would be dealt with and safety concerns and diet in the first year may be the topics for discussion. The nutrition education is tailored to meet the needs of the client at that particular moment in time. Literature is available on main nutrition topics in both Spanish and English and ethnic practices are considered in the teaching. The MCHD supplemental food clerk ie bilingual in Spanish. As MCHD is both a WIC and a CSFP county we are careful to prevent dual participation and have a good working relationship between programs.

Questions included primary language, helpfulness of office and warehouse staff, usefulness of recipes and referrals to supportive service agencies, whether needs are being meet by CSFP foods, satisfaction with certification and distribution systems and reasons why participants skipped picking up their food. Generally the participants were happy with the methods and the helpfulness of staff. The main reason that some have skipped picking up their food is that cheese is no longer available, that transportation is sometimes a problem, and they just forget. Tri-County now has public transportation available; we continue to encourage the use of this service to pickup commodities. The staff will be calling those individuals who have not picked up their foods by the last week of official distribution and reminding them to pickup their food, they will be .offered a makeup day. We are unable to address the cheese issue. Changing Needs Food Program has developed a check list to use as a tool to assure that the certifier has obtained all the necessary information to assist participants.

This will be done primarily through the following mechanisms: 1. A -nutritionist -on -a part-time basis will direct the Nutrition Education component to reach the goals as identified: a. To ensure that CSFP foods are used properly. b. Encourage continued selection and consumption of nutritious food necessary to good health. c. Demonstrate the -relationship between proper -nutrition and good health with an emphasis on pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women. d. To effect a positive change in eating habits through maximum use of supplemental foods within the context of ethnic, cultural, and geographical preferences. 2. At the time of certification, participants will be informed that the program is only supplemental and not a total feeding program. They are advised of seeking medical care and of the importance of total health care for them and their families. Many of our participants are referred for certification from the other two (2) clinics in Weld County, Sunrise Health Center, and Plan de Salud del Valle. Participants will also be advised of the times -a nutritionist will be available at the Division of Human Services for one-on-one counseling concerning special -nutritional needs end ways to provide adequate diets, or, if the participants would like, additional nutrition education. If necessary, the nutritionist will make these services available in the home. The certification center can also make recommendations to the nutritionist for follow-up on participants with special -needs. 3. At the point of certification, nutrition information is provided to the participants. The information is approved and/or developed by a nutritionist. The various tools used are recipes for balanced meals, nutritional information, snack ideas, and when available, information as it relates to nutrition, shopping trips, etc. The following is a more detailed description of the information tole distributed in the packets: a.

The Survey Tool for the Supplemental Food Program, administered by Maria, was given upon certification of the participant. Although -the form is short and written in both Spanish and English, the participant seldom fills in the check mark herself, but will answer the questions for Maria. The same was true with the Evaluation Tool. The participant would answer the question if I (nutrition consultant) would make the check mark for their answer and comments. This too was beneficial, talking cue to one with participants gave additional information about their needs and their children's needs. Of approximately 3521 persons served with Supplemental Foods during the month of May, 1995, 1100 are 60 years or older, 430 are women that are pregnant or have babies and young children, 110 are babies age 0-3 months, 330 are babies 4-12 months and 1542 are children ages 1 to 6 years old. In designing the NutritionEducation Plan, consideration was given to the elderly to provide them with recipes that they could prepare for one or two people. The cornmeal, dry milk and dry eggs were created in a Cornbread Stuffing. The Commodity Casserole uses canned beef, vegetables, and noodles, all foods that She elderly finds difficult to use by individual items but welcomes recipe ideas Many of the demonstrated food items have great appeal for the young child. The Fruit Juice Jiggles and the Fruit Juice Popsicles are favorites for the child ages 1 to 6. Also included are practical, beneficial information on Breastfeeding, and Videos for Feeding the Young Child. Administering the Survey and Evaluation Tool requires a great deal of time as each participant questioned is visited with one to one and their form is filled in for them. Each year we will be able to evaluate a larger number of both mothers and the elderly. Most participants have no special requests, but some have children with special dietary needs. Almost all desire recipes and seemingly get encouragement from seeing the food demonstrations. Most mothers learn about the Supplemental Food Program by talking to a friend or through Sunrise Clinic or Social Services. The elderly often hear about Supplemental Foods from a friend at their subsidized apartment complex, at the Senior Nutrition Congregate Meal Program, or from Social Services. It is a challenge to reach each participant with nutrition education. Pamphlets, written information, and Menus of the Month are available at all times at the Supplemental Foods certification desk. r 251999 SURVEY for SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD PROGRAM 1.
