Body

Create Better Health (CBH) is a comprehensive nutrition curriculum designed to improve the nutrition and physical activity-related knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy of SNAP-Ed eligible adults to lead an active and healthy lifestyle with limited resources. CBH has a unique emphasis on improving food resource management by teaching participants how to use foods they already have in their kitchen to create a variety of nourishing meals. CBH was developed and evaluated by a team of SNAP-Ed program specialists, registered dietitians, and Utah State University Extension nutrition faculty.
