Abstract

The Nutrition and Aging Resource Center (NRCNA) provides the Senior Nutrition Program (SNP) network technical assistance and is dedicated to programming equity. This study aims to elevate Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) SNP professionals' training needs and preferences by utilizing equitable evaluation practices. The objectives include (1) understanding BIPOC SNP professionals' general characteristics and organization's attributes, (2) identifying subject matter and training needs and preferences, and (3) contributing to equitable evaluation method literature. Snowball sampling through NRCNA and partner agencies yielded a final sample of 1910 aging professionals, with 9.9% identifying as BIPOC (n = 190). SPSS was used for data analysis with descriptive statistics, chi-square test of independence, and independent t-tests. Data disaggregation resulted in additional and unique characteristics, organizational attributes, and subject matter gaps for BIPOC respondents not identified through the collective sample. These findings can assist in creating more inclusive and supportive technical assistance and network.

老年营养计划网络的培训需求和偏好：放大历史边缘化的声音。

营养和老龄化资源中心（NRCNA）提供老年人营养计划（SNP）网络技术援助，并致力于规划公平。本研究旨在通过公平的评估实践，提高黑人、原住民和有色人种（BIPOC） SNP专业人员的培训需求和偏好。目标包括(1)了解BIPOC SNP专业人员的一般特征和组织属性，(2)确定主题和培训需求和偏好，以及(3)贡献公平的评估方法文献。通过NRCNA和合作机构的雪球抽样产生了1910名老年专业人员的最终样本，其中9.9%被确定为BIPOC （n = 190）。采用SPSS统计软件进行数据分析，采用描述性统计、卡方独立性检验和独立t检验。数据分解导致了额外的和独特的特征，组织属性，以及BIPOC受访者没有通过集体样本确定的主题差距。这些发现有助于建立更具包容性和支持性的技术援助和网络。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
