Training Needs and Preferences of the Senior Nutrition Program Network: Amplifying Historically Marginalized Voices.
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.
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.
