[Fruitsandveggies] SRC Special Populations Resources

[Haley C SMITH]

Hello Fruit and Veggie Partners,
 
The National Fruit and Vegetable Alliance SRC Special Populations Work Group has a new set of resources to support work promoting fruits and vegetables in special populations. These resources target the following populations groups.
 
Resources and Tips for Working with African American Churches 
Resources and Tips for Working in Adolescent Community Settings 
Resources and Tips for Working with Asian and Pacific Islanders 
Resources and Tips for Working with Low-income Hispanic Mothers 
Resources and Tips for Working with Native Americans (to be released later this year)
Each document provides background information and an extensive inventory of resources including programs and interventions, print resources, professional resources, partners and funding sources.
 
Here are some ways that you may be able to use these resources locally.
 
Identify settings where special populations may be reached 
Access health and nutrition statistics for special populations 
Look at examples of programs and interventions 
Read about current research and best practices 
Find materials for non-English speaking populations 
Find resources to use to supplement your nutrition programs and curriculum 
Identify potential sources of funding for interventions targeting special populations
These documents are works in progress. If you know of any other great resources that should be included, please let me know and I will pass them along to the Special Populations Work Group.
