Brief Summary
The goal of the study is to determine the immediate and long-term effects of SNAP-Ed on the food insecurity of the entire household, household adults, and household children. The study also aims to determine if there is a dose-response effect on food security after receiving 4 to 10 FNP lessons and if other characteristics influence the change in food security status.

Baseline assessments were completed upon recruitment and 1-year follow-up assessments were completed approximately 1 year after baseline assessments; 12-month reference period at baseline and 1-year follow-up assessments
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Change in Household Food Security, Food Security Among Adults, Food Security Among Children from baseline to Post-intervention
Post-intervention food security score was assessed 4-10 weeks after baseline and included a 30-day reference period at post-intervention assessment

Control Group
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants who met eligibility requirements and agreed to be randomly allocated to a treatment group. The control group participants received no lessons.

The control group participants may have had limited contact with the nutrition educators only to update contact information, to set or remind of appointments to complete study assessments, or to receive non-nutrition or non-resource management resources.
Intervention Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants who met eligibility requirements and agreed to be randomly allocated to a treatment group.The Intervention group participants received lessons from the nutrition educators, completed the same study assessments at the same timepoints as the control group, and may have had additional interaction with the nutrition educators in accordance with normal Indiana SNAP-Ed protocol.
Interventions
First four Indiana SNAP-Ed nutrition education lessons served as the intervention
