Summary
Create a 10-slide digital storybook for children aged 4–10. The storybook should introduce and explain four key nutrition assistance programs: • WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) • NSLP (National School Lunch Program) • SBP (School Breakfast Program) • CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) Your story should educate young readers using simple language and engaging visuals. Incorporate community nutrition education principles, behavior change theories, cultural competence, and marketing strategies. Assignment Instructions: 1. Planning Phase A. Community Assessment • Choose a Target Group: Select a specific community (e.g., low-income urban families, rural populations, immigrant communities). You can use a group from a previous assignment if applicable. • Research: Find information about the nutritional status and challenges children in this community face using reliable sources like government health reports or academic studies. • Identify Knowledge Gaps: Determine what these children and their families might not know about nutrition and available food assistance programs. B. Set Objectives and Choose a Behavior Change Theory • Define Goals: Set clear, specific objectives for your storybook (e.g., increase awareness of nutrition programs among children aged 4–10 in your chosen community). Community Nutrition Assignment 3 Instructions • Select a Theory: Pick a behavior change theory to guide your content (e.g., Social Cognitive Theory, Health Belief Model etc). • Plan Implementation: Outline how you will use the chosen theory to influence children's perceptions and behaviors about nutrition.
