ADDRESSING THE PROGRAM PRIORITY AREA DIET, NUTRITION, AND THE PREVENTION OF CHRONIC DISEASES, THE LONG-TERM GOAL OF THIS INTEGRATED PROJECT IS TO UTILIZENUTRITION EDUCATION STRATEGIES TO INCREASE ADULT AND CHILD CONSUMPTION OF FISH TO IMPROVE BRAINHEALTH AS MEASURED BY COGNITIVE AND EMOTIONAL WELLBEING. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIESINCLUDE, (1) ADULT AND CHILD CONSUMER PANELS TO PROVIDE SENSORY EVALUATION ON THREE STRAINS OFTROUT, (2) EFFECTS OF REPEATED EXPOSURE (RE) AND CHILD-CENTERED NUTRITION PHRASES (CCNP) ONEATING BEHAVIORS AND BRAIN HEALTH WILL BE DETERMINED USING ONE CONTROL AND TWO TREATMENT GROUPSOF CHILDREN IN CHILDCARE SETTINGS, (3) EFFECTS OF NUTRITION EDUCATION,INCORPORATING CCNP AND FISH PREPARATION TECHNIQUES, AND RE TARGETING FAMILY MEALS ON EATING BEHAVIORS OF CHILDREN AND BRAINHEALTH OF ADULTS AND CHILDREN WILL BE DETERMINED USING FOUR TREATMENT GROUPS IN THE HOME SETTING.EXTENSION OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES INCLUDE DEVELOPING AND MARKETING ABOUT TROUT! POND TOPLATE, 12-VIDEO NUTRITION EDUCATION SERIES INCORPORATING CCNP AND FISH PREPARATION TECHNIQUES.EDUCATION OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES WILL PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH EXPERIENTIAL LEARNINGOPPORTUNITIES IN CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT, EVALUATION, DATA COLLECTION, AND ANALYSIS.RESULTS FROM THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE FOUNDATIONAL SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE DEMONSTRATING SUCCESSFUL APPROACHES FOR FACILITATING ADULT AND CHILDREN'S LIKING AND CONSUMPTION OF FISH TO SUPPORTCOGNITIVE AND MENTAL HEALTH.
