Attachment V: CACFP Site Screener – Follow-up

BACKGROUND (DO NOT READ TO RECRUITEES)

We are following up with child care centers and family child care homes participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) within Bronx County, New York, Miami-Dade County, FL, and Gwinnett County, GA that have expressed interest in serving as host locations for research being conducted on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture/Food and Nutrition Service. The research for which we are recruiting host locations is intended to provide comprehensive feedback on the messaging, format, and images of the Nibbles for Health newsletters and Nutrition and Wellness Tips for Young Children: Provider Handbook for the Child and Adult Care Food Program.

Child care centers and family child care homes willing to host the research groups have agreed to provide a room where 90-minute triads can be conducted, a room or space where 60-minute in-person interviews can be conducted, assistance with recruiting of English-speaking and Spanish-speaking parents and caregivers of children ages 2-5, and assistance with recruiting of staff person for in-person in-depth interviews.
