摘要：North Carolina Extension specialists conducted a needs assessment of Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) agents to determine their foods and nutrition programming needs.Researchers examined agent and community needs, agentoffered programming, and barriers and facilitators to program implementation.Results will help inform the development of targeted agent trainings, materials, programs, and technical assistance related to foods and nutrition.The study is intended to help maximize the success of FCS foods and nutrition programming by supporting agents in delivering high-quality, evidence-based programs.This paper reviews study implementation, results, and relevant implications for other Extension professionals interested in performing a similar analysis.
