Using valid and reliable outcome measures is critical to assessing the effectiveness of nutrition education programs but, oftentimes, measures do not exist for the outcomes of interest. In this presentation, we will discuss psychometric analysis methods for validity and reliability testing of infant feeding education questions for the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). Specifically, we will discuss why we selected the particular construct validity and reliability tests used, how the research was designed for each test, and the strengths and possible limitations of each test. Finally, we will share how we analyzed and reported our results for the construct validity and reliability tests and the lessons we learned from this psychometric analysis study.

This session describes successful outcomes of three online nutrition programs. The first adapted an in-person curriculum for online use and implemented an 8-week nutrition education program with Black women to evaluate outcomes such as health-related knowledge, diet, and physical activity. Two 8-week online nutrition interventions were adapted from in-person curricula and piloted for youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Feasibility and acceptability of virtual implementations of early childhood and adolescent interventions for youth with ASD were examined, as well as feasibility of virtually administering their outcome measures, including dietary intake and psychosocial determinants of dietary intake.

In March 2020, the entire world changed and we all began an experience that no one saw coming -- a worldwide pandemic. The dietetics faculty at Marshall University immediately began considering how this would impact our students' education and financial situation, along with the social and emotional impact this would have on everyone. The faculty at Marshall changed program delivery to accommodate changes brought forth by COVID to provide exceptional learning opportunities for undergraduate students and dietetic interns, both virtually and face-to-face. Join us to learn about methods to implement in dietetics programs, including relevant internship rotations for both on-site and distance interns, adjustments to food laboratory courses, and how we can work together to benefit our profession during this time. With everyone making changes related to the current pandemic, this information is relevant to educators in higher education, as well as preceptors and future employers of these students.
