NC219 serves as an umbrella for two federally-funded projects. These projects are underway. Based on the status of data collection, data management questions were resolved and initial plans for analysis, interpretation and dissemination were determined. The representatives determined general publication guidelines and procedures. Eight manuscripts regarding the previous two years of data collections and development of novel methodology are in various stages of completion. Initial discussions of additional manuscripts were held. Ways to disseminate products from the study (ie training video, manuals, newsletters) were discussed. Plans for a developing a new five-year project proposal (2006-2011) with an increased focus on combating obesity and increasing nutritional literacy and plans for seeking competitive funding were made.

Accomplishments

Objective 1, to qualitatively assess the preferred delivery method, as well as the acceptability of stage tailored newsletters in young adults in diverse populations, is completed. Manuscripts for scientific peer review are in process. Methods for distributing products of interest to stakeholders (training materials, manuals and newsletter) have been determined.
Objective 2, to develop a sustained, 6-month stage-tailored intervention designed to increase consumption of vegetables and fruits tailored for diverse populations of young adults has been completed.
Objective 3, to test the efficacy of the intervention compared to a non-treatment control and compare the efficacy across diverse population is underway.

During 2003-2004, we will complete data collection and begin analysis. Data collection results from waves one and two from both funded studies will be ready for decisions on dissemination by the October 2004 meeting. The final wave of results for one of the funded studies should also be ready for examination and dissemination. The group will use preliminary results to shape the direction for a new multistate project.
