• 29 contractors collected self-reported FV consumption data from 7,067 school-age children using one of four validated instruments
• Matching (same youth) pre-tests and post-tests were provided by 2,689 children using one of four validated instruments.
• Contractors representing about 50% of the 2,689 youth reported statistically significant increased consumption of fruit, vegetables, and total consumption of fruit and vegetables from pre- to post-test
• Those representing about 80% of the youth reported increased consumption of fruit from pre- to post-test
2009 Outcome/Impact Evaluation Findings –Adults
• An additional 11 contractors collected FV consumption data from 1,551 adults using one of three validated instruments
• Matching pre-tests and post-tests from intervention and comparison groups were provided by 1,029 adults using one of three validated instruments
• All adult impact evaluations using the “cups” measurement instrument showed statistically significant improvement in vegetable, fruit, and total fruit and vegetable consumption (N = 493)
• Impact evaluations using the “servings” instrument showed increases in vegetables and total fruit and vegetables with a trend towards increased fruit consumption

Evaluating Campaign-Level Interventions That Work
Fruit, Vegetable, and Physical Activity Toolbox for Community Educators
• Quasi-experimental study: – African-American women age 18-54;– 156 treatment; 171 control
• Intervention: Six one-hour Toolbox classes • Results:
– After the 6 weeks of classes, significantly higher proportions of women in the treatment group compared to the control group reported that they bought and prepared more fruits and vegetables since the intervention had started
– Women in in the treatment group reported significant change pre- to post- test while control group women did not. They reported significantly higher proportions than controls who were consuming at least 3.5 cups of FV daily and were physically active for 30 min/day in a usual week.
Development of Network Interventions That Work
Fruit, Vegetable, and Physical Activity Toolbox for Community Educators
– Women in the treatment groups were also significantly more likely to report ordering more fruits and vegetables when eating out and eating them more at work.
– Women in the treatment group reported significant changes in nine measures of attitude, compared to one measure in the control group, as well as twelve measures of confidence and five measures of empowerment for which the control group showed no changes.
