Abstract: The report provides documentation of effort and program participation including statewide and regional summaries of findings related to: awareness and promotional activities (designed to make educators aware of the NET program); training and technical assistance programs (promoting inclusion of nutrition education into curricula); and presentations/workshops/inservice (emphasizing knowledge gathering positive behavior and attitude changes of classroom and day care center staffs). Needs for continuing education as identified by program participants' responses by statewide and regional level are tabulated and discussed. Conclusions summarize the information available indicating the need for: a more useful evaluation strategy, greater awareness of nutrition information among educators, continuing evaluation of technical assistance efforts, and determination of the extent of actual implementation of NET materials and nutrition instruction in Minnesota.
