Title: Testing the Spanish Translation of the EFNEP Food and Physical Activity
Questionnaire

Title: Testing the Spanish Translation of the EFNEP Food and Physical Activity
Questionnaire: Phase Two
Project Director: Nicole Owens Duffy, PhD, University of Florida; M. Catalina Aragon, MS,
Washington State University
Impacts:
EFNEP reaches adults in every state and all U.S. territories so it is important that assessment tools
accurately measure behavior changes. The Food and Physical Activity Questionnaire (FPAQ)
behavioral assessment tool has been completed and is ready for use by both EFNEP and any
program that provide nutrition education to low-income adults. The final version of the FPAQ has
been integrated into the EFNEP national electronic data collection system for use in the new
EFNEP Adult Questionnaire that will be launched in October of 2020 for use beginning federal
fiscal year 2021.
Activities:
The Food and Physical Activity Questionnaire (FPAQ) will engage in additional work to create
impact statement templates that can be used by states to share the results gleaned from the tool’s
use. A Spanish version of the tool has been created and research to support its efficacy is
underway. Also, a version that can be used as a retrospective pre-test (as opposed to the current
pre-/post- test) is undergoing cognitive testing to ensure that the version presented is understood by
the target audience.
ASA24 dietary assessment tool: EFNEP adults complete 24-hour diet recalls. Pilot data
(qualitative and quantitative) from the use of this method, which is new to EFNEP has been
compiled and will be analyzed in the upcoming year, and the Michigan’s EFNEP program has
begun use of an online training to prepare for its use in collecting their 24-hour recalls.
Milestones: The year of 2020 will be an exception in many ways, notably the ability to carry on
long-term work during challenging times. We were able to have a mid-year and annual meeting
virtually and all work groups continued meeting. New members were recruited.
