Participants’ and Facilitators’ Reactions: In telephone interviews program participants and facilitators were extremely positive about the program, especially the active food preparation and sharing of skills.
Participants reported
* The best part of our meetings was working as a group and trying new things.
* If it was not for Sisters in Health I would never have known how much my children like other veggies I never tried before.
* I figured out how much I needed a day and make sure I get that many [servings].
* We could ask any question we wanted and were make to feel it was important. It made you want to be there.
Facilitators reported
* Participants liked being able to choose topics and what (foods) they would prepare.
* Recipes were simple, with ingredients not out of the ordinary. Even those who didn't think they would like the foods, did try and like them.
* The program was easy to implement because lesson plans and recipes were ready to go, but had flexibility.
