dietary quality,1 4 reduced risk behavior for substance abuse3 5 and disordered eating behaviors,3,4 improved
cognitive performance among children,3 5 and strengthened family connectedness.4,5 Promoting healthy
eating through family meals is suggested to be an important public
health strategy, but family mealfocused interventions that educate
entire families are lacking.6 Furthermore, family programs that promote
healthful family mealtimes through
an experiential and observational
learning environment for underserved families within a community
setting are limited or not widely
reported. The objective of Let’s Cook,
Eat, and Talk (LCET) was twofold: to
promote healthy eating behaviors by
providing combined nutrition education and cooking classes to underserved families in the community
setting and to facilitate family mealtime communication to strengthen
family relationships among participants in East Lubbock, TX. |
