Description: Abstract: This analysis deals with the status of the first 7 years of the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) operation and its status related to congressional mandate. The analysis responds to the question, "Is the EFNEP helping families acquire knowledge about nutrition and change their eating habits?" From the beginning of the program through June 1974, more than 24,000 aides have been trained and worked with 1,077,000 families. Approximately 2 million youth have participated in the EFNEP. Now about 5,300 aides are working with approximately 330,000 families annually. Each paraprofessional works with about 51 families.
