Evidence Summary
Additionally, CHFFF conducted a community-based evaluation between 2013 and 2015 in which paired t-tests showed significant (p<.01) positive changes before to after CHFFF education for consumption of vegetables, fruits, sweetened drinks, nutrition label reading, and other food and activity behaviors.
