Abstract
The purpose of this project was to provide nutrition education to WIC's neediest Hispanic clients in Clark County. The objectives were: (a) to increase collaboration between Cooperative Extension and WIC, and (b) to help participants acquire knowledge, skills, and behaviors contributing to a sound diet and a healthy lifestyle. A home visitor program utilized bilingual and bicultural staff. Data for this study were obtained using pre/post-test questionnaires, food recalls, and surveys. Preliminary findings indicated significant improvement in nutrition, food safety, and resource management practices among participants.
