Abstract

Effective community food and nutrition programs are imperative for supporting older adults health and well-being. This three-part study examined to what extent the innovative congregate nutrition program (CNP), Encore Café, and targeted marketing campaign influenced CNP utilization, CNP program satisfaction, and overall CNP impact (e.g., nutritional risk, dietary practices, and loneliness). The Encore Café resulted in increases of 386% in meal distribution and 3,164% in CNP participants during a two-year period compared to a 20.8% reduction at traditional meal sites across the state. Total CNP satisfaction (food and dining) was high for both the Encore Café and Traditional CNP. Encore Café participants maintained their nutritional status and experienced significant reductions in emotional loneliness (p = 0.017) and dietary intake frequencies of processed meat (p = 0.027) compared to non-CNP participants. Utilizing a client-centered approach in marketing and programming for the Encore Café shows promising results for improving the utilization and effectiveness of the CNP.

安可咖啡:一个创新和有效的综合营养计划。

有效的社区食品和营养计划对于支持老年人的健康和福祉至关重要。这项由三部分组成的研究考察了创新的综合营养计划(CNP)、Encore cafe和有针对性的营销活动对CNP利用率、CNP计划满意度和总体CNP影响(如营养风险、饮食习惯和孤独感)的影响程度。在两年的时间里，安可咖啡馆的用餐分配增加了386%，CNP参与者增加了3164%，而全州传统用餐地点的用餐分配减少了20.8%。安可咖啡馆和传统CNP的总体满意度(食物和餐饮)都很高。与非cnp参与者相比，Encore caf参与者保持了他们的营养状况，情感孤独(p = 0.017)和加工肉类的饮食摄入频率(p = 0.027)显著减少。在Encore cafe的营销和规划中采用以客户为中心的方法，在提高CNP的利用率和有效性方面显示出有希望的结果。
