“Based upon the socioecological model, Eating Smart*Being Active is an evidence based, nutrition education and obesity prevention curriculum. Eating Smart*Being Active is designed for paraprofessional nutrition educators to use when teaching low-income families with young children to learn healthy lifestyle choices.” (Eating Smart*Being Active website)

SNAP-Ed Units: Due to the significant cost of new materials, Eating Smart*Being Active will be available for use by SNAP-Ed Units on a case-by-case basis only. If you would like to use ESBA, please contact Rose Jepson-Sullivan. Decisions will be made based on fit for your intended audience, demonstrated past success with adult recruitment and retention in class series, and availability of lower cost options. Although we must be more thoughtful about its use, we want to make it available where it is needed and can have the most impact on behavior change.

If you have questions, please contact Joyce Senior (EFNEP) or Rose Jepson-Sullivan (SNAP-Ed).
