Summary

The SNAP-Ed Strategies and Interventions: An Obesity Prevention Toolkit for States (SNAP-Ed Toolkit) was developed collaboratively by FNS national and tegional office SNAP-Ed staff, the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Reduction (NCCOR), and the Association of SNAP Nutrition Education Administrators (ASNNA). The SNAP-Ed Toolkit website and resources were recently moved to the SNAP-Ed Connection website to establish SNAP-Ed's online Clearinghouse, which includes evidence-based SNAP-Ed interventions. State agencies can use the evidence-based interventions in the SNAP-Ed Clearinghouse (formerly the SNAP-Ed Toolkit) to locate interventions for their implementation of SNAP-Ed programming.

FNS updated the forms and burden estimates based on consultations with SNAP-Ed state and implementing agency partners, other federal agencies, and users of the forms. FNS has refined and streamlined the forms, and included additional instructions, questions, or opportunities for response where users, trainers, and FNS partners indicated areas for improvement. FNS has also made wording changes to fix typographical errors and improve readability. Overall, the changes to the forms are focused on form improvements for the end user.

The SNAP-Ed Intervention Submission Form: FNS-886 provides information about the intervention they are submitting for inclusion in the SNAP-Ed Clearinghouse. This information includes intervention materials (such as materials used to develop and test the intervention, evaluation materials, or reports), the intended audience, and the evidence base which illustrates their effectiveness. The FNS-886 captures this information through a combination of multiple-choice boxes and text response areas. Submitters include members of SNAP-Ed state and implementing agencies, researchers from academic institutions and federal agencies, and non-profit or private sector nutrition education and physical activity intervention developers.

SNAP-Ed Intervention Scoring Tool Form FNS-885, is used to assess and rate each submission. The reviewers' assessments are collected through a combination of numerical and text entry fields.
