Abstract

To present the findings from community-based participatory research (CBPR) with Latino families and the applied learning experience of graduate students. Sanos y Fuertes supports USDA's ‘Nutrition and Health’ goal by implementing obesity prevention with 100 families annually; it also provides experiential student learning to a cross-disciplinary cohort. Evaluation demonstrates statistically significant changes in nutrition-related knowledge, intention, and behavior. The combination of applied learning, CBPR methods, and multidisciplinary teams is an effective approach to prepare highly-qualified future professionals to address the global obesity epidemic.
