摘要、提要註:	The federal government commits in excess of $338 million annually for nutrition education targeting low-income families yet research into long-term impacts is lacking. This research was conducted to understand how low-income adult learners changed as a result of their participation in a nutrition education program. The mixed-method study was applied: a quantitative examination of the maintenance of food- and nutrition-related behaviors at least one year and up to four years after participation in a low-income nutrition education program and an interpretive qualitative evaluation of how their involvement influenced nutritional and non-nutritional aspects of their lives. The Wyoming Cent$ible Nutrition Program (CNP) is a federally-funded, low-income nutrition education program that offers a series of hands-on, interactive lessons to help families eat better for less money. For this mixed-method study, 493 past CNP graduates completed a follow-up food and nutrition behavior checklist. By matching these surveys with pre- and post-checklists, it was learned that graduates maintained significant positive behavior changes over time. These changes were consistent for age, years since participation, and residence. Telephone interviews conducted with 19 respondents confirmed the quantitative findings that graduates do maintain behaviors learned and added eight significant life effects including and beyond food and nutrition. The findings indicate that education that is solution-oriented and relevant to current needs will help adults meet basic human needs for competence, autonomy and connectedness.
