UNHEALTHY DIETARY PATTERNS AND OBESITY ARE MAJOR CAUSES OF DEBILITATING AND COMMON DISEASES, PARTICULARLY CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND TYPE 2 DIABETES. INDICATORS OF OBESITY ARE PRESENT AS EARLY AS INFANCY. TO PROMOTE THE PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH OF CHILDREN AT THE POPULATION LEVEL, STRATEGIES DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THEIR CAREGIVERS ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED. MOST CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 5 YEARS SPEND OVER 35-HOURS PER WEEK RECEIVING CARE OUTSIDE THEIR HOME AT CHILDCARE CENTERS, THEREFORE, EARLY CHILDCARE EDUCATION (ECE) PROVIDERS ARE INFLUENTIAL ROLE MODELS WHO HAVE AN ENORMOUS IMPACT ON OUR NATION'S CHILDREN. YET, DESPITE THEIR CRUCIAL ROLE IN EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT, ECE PROVIDERS ARE AMONG THE LOWEST PAID IN THE COUNTRY AND HAVE WORSE HEALTH THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION. THEY FACE A DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGH RISK OF DEVELOPING PREVENTABLE CHRONIC DISEASES. INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THIS WORKFORCE ARE URGENTLY NEEDED.HEAD START HAS LONGSTANDING BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AS AN EFFECTIVE AND WORTHWHILE CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IN THE US. THE GOAL OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF ECE PROVIDERS AT DIVERSE HEAD START CENTERS, THE NATION'S LARGEST FEDERAL EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM. WE WILL EXAMINE WHETHER HEALTHY NUTRITION BEHAVIORS OF ECE PROVIDERS AT HEAD START SPILLOVER TO IMPACT NUTRITION BEHAVIORS OF THE CHILDREN IN THEIR CARE. HEAD START PROVIDERS WILL BE OFFERED IN-PERSON GROUP PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY A STRONG WEB APPLICATION FOR HEALTHY EATING AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT. THE RESULTS OF THE PROJECT WILL HAVE ENORMOUS DIRECT RELEVANCE TO PUBLIC HEALTH POLICIES ENCOURAGING GOVERNMENT HEALTH PLANS AND PRIVATE HEALTH INSURERS TO OFFER OBESITY PREVENTION AND TREATMENT PROGRAMS AS A ROUTINE SERVICE. ULTIMATELY, WE AIM TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE FOR A SUCCESSFUL WORKPLACE WELLNESS PROGRAM IN THE ECE FIELD TOWARD NATIONWIDE SCALING TO REDUCE HEALTH DISPARITIES AND CREATE SUSTAINABLE BEHAVIOR CHANGES, LEADING TO A HEALTHIER, MORE SELF-SUFFICIENT WORKFORCE.WE WILL FIRST IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES AND BARRIERS TO CREATING A WORKSITE WELLNESS AND HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAM FOR HEAD START PROVIDERS BY CONDUCTING A NATIONWIDE SURVEY. USING THESE INSIGHTS, WE WILL DEVELOP AND TEST A NOVEL WORKSITE WELLNESS INITIATIVE IN DIVERSE HEAD START SITES THROUGH A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL THAT DETERMINES IF THE PROGRAM REDUCED THE RISK OF ECE STAFF DEVELOPING PREVENTABLE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK FACTORS. WE WILL ALSO EXPLORE WHETHER THE INTERVENTION IMPROVED THE HEALTHY NUTRITION BEHAVIOR OF CHILDREN ENROLLED AT HEAD START. FINALLY, WE WILL MODEL WHETHER THE PROGRAM CAN RESULT IN ADDITIONAL BENEFITS TO ECE PROVIDERS AND THEIR EMPLOYERS AS WELL AS COST SAVINGS, SUCH AS REDUCED ABSENTEEISM. THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS WE WILL DEVELOP, DELIVER, AND EVALUATE AN EXPERIENTIAL GRADUATE-LEVEL (MS AND PHD) TRAINEE COURSE, "APPLIED IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH IN NUTRITION AND AGRICULTURE INTERVENTIONS: DESIGN, DELIVERY, AND ASSESSMENT," TO TRAIN A COHORT OF NUTRITION PROFESSIONALS TO IMPLEMENT AND CONTINUE THIS WORK. THE GOAL OF THIS NOVEL GRADUATE TRAINING COURSE IS TO SUPPORT FUTURE GENERATIONS OF RESEARCHERS AND STAKEHOLDERS WHO PROMOTE EQUITY, REDUCE DISPARITIES, AND WORK WITH UNDER-RESOURCED POPULATIONS, PARTICULARLY CHILDREN WITH LOW INCOME AND LOW WAGE WORKERS, TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF OUR COUNTRY. DISSEMINATION WILL OCCUR VIA SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS, TRAININGS, AND ONLINE RESOURCES.

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES FOOD SECURITY CHALLENGES FACED BY ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING SECTORS OF OUR POPULATION WHO ARE ALSO MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE ECONOMIC AND HEALTH DISPARITIES. IN MINNESOTA, THE FASTEST POPULATION GROWTH IS EXPECTED AMONG HISPANIC, BLACK, AND ASIAN COMMUNITIES. CURRENTLY, 21% OF MINNESOTANS IDENTIFY AS PEOPLE OF COLOR, WHILE 32% OF CHILDREN 4 YEARS AND UNDER ARE OF COLOR. HUGE INCOME INEQUITY EXISTS, WITH 80% OF SOMALI AND 59% OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN PEOPLE LIVING IN POVERTY AND NEAR POVERTY IN MINNESOTA (COMPARED TO 21% OF WHITE POPULATION).REGIONALLY, MORE PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE MOVING TO RURAL AREAS OF THE STATE. WHILE THE SOMALI POPULATION IN THE MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL METRO DOUBLED BETWEEN 2005 AND 2019, THE NUMBER OF SOMALI RESIDENTS IN GREATER MINNESOTA GREW BY MORE THAN SIX-FOLD DURING THE SAME PERIOD. FAMILIES IN RURAL MINNESOTA EXPERIENCE POVERTY TO A GREATER EXTENT THAN THOSE LIVING IN SUBURBAN OR URBAN AREAS (11.5% IN RURAL AREAS COMPARED TO 8.9% IN URBAN AREAS). MINNESOTA RANKS SEVENTH WORST IN THE NATION FOR HEALTHY FOOD ACCESS, PARTICULARLY WITH SIGNIFICANT DECREASES IN GROCERY STORES IN RURAL MINNESOTA IN RECENT YEARS.WE PARTNER WITH A SOMALI-AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA. SOMALI IMMIGRANTS ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST AFRICAN POPULATIONS TO RESETTLE IN THE U.S. SINCE THE EARLY 1990S. IN MINNESOTA, THE SOMALI COMMUNITY IS ONE OF THE LARGEST IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES, WITH AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF 80,000, OF WHICH 10,000 RESIDE IN STEARNS COUNTY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. WE WILL USE A HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN (HCD) APPROACH TO DEVELOP PLACE-BASED SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE FOOD-RELATED HEALTH OUTCOMES IN THE STUDY COMMUNITY. CENTERED ON THE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM, HCD IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO DEVELOP INTERVENTIONS THAT ARE BOTH COMMUNITY-BASED AND PLACE-BASED. WE WILL CONDUCT NEEDS ASSESSMENTS OF THE STUDY COMMUNITY IN YEAR 1, CO-DESIGN INTERVENTION STRATEGIES IN YEAR 2, AND FIELD TEST THE STRATEGIES THAT WERE DEVELOPED INTO PROTOTYPES. THELEARNING FROM THE HCD APPROACH AND CO-DESIGNED, FIELD-TESTED STRATEGIES WITH SHARED WITH THE WIDER AUDIENCE.WE WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE EMERGENT LITERATURE ON TRANSFERABILITY ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH INTERVENTIONS IN IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN RURAL AREAS. WE WILL WORK WITH THE TECHNICAL ADVISORS ON OUR PROJECT WHO HAVE LED SIMILAR COMMUNITY-BASED EFFORTS TO ADDRESS FOOD SYSTEMS AND/OR FOOD-RELATED HEALTH IN OTHER IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES. TOGETHER, WE WILL SORT THROUGH THE TRANSFERABILITY FACTORS IDENTIFIED BY THE PAST STUDIES TO IDENTIFY FACTORS WHICH MAY SPECIFICALLY INFLUENCE THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THE PROJECT PROCESS AND OUTPUTS TO OTHER IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES AND DEVELOP HYPOTHESES ABOUT THE WAYS THESE FACTORS MAY INFLUENCE TRANSFERABILITY. WE WILL EXAMINE THE HYPOTHESES BY ANALYZING A PANEL WORKSHOP WITH TECHNICAL ADVISORS AND MEMBERS OF VARIOUS IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES TO GATHER EVIDENCE IN THE PROJECT WORK AND IN THEIR LIVED EXPERIENCES.
