Recent EFNEP guidelines recognize the value of using policy, systems and environmental approaches (PSEs) to support direct nutrition education in changing individual behavior. A needs assessment conducted in 2016 found that many EFNEP professionals lack knowledge and skills to develop, implement, and evaluate effective PSEs and training on these topics was desired. As a result, EFNEP leaders at Cornell University, in collaboration with a national team of EFNEP and SNAP-Ed professionals, have developed a new online training course: "Making the Healthy Choice the Easy Choice: An Introduction to Policy, Systems, and Environmental Approaches to Promote Healthy Eating and Physical Activity." The target audience is nutrition education and obesity prevention professionals, including those in EFNEP, who work collaboratively to impact local communities. This presentation will provide 1) an overview on how this course was developed to respond to identified needs, 2) a review of course content, 3) a demonstration of course activities, and 4) enrollment information for EFNEP professionals.
