This three year research project is funded by Smith Lever Federal Formula Funds from October, 2014 through September, 2017. This project is a follow up study based on the PASTA-NYC project that was conducted from October, 2011 September, 2014. During the PASTA-NYC project, PASTA training was conducted with relative caregivers in the Bronx and Harlem. For year two, the project was conducted in Jamaica, Queens and Central Brooklyn and involved participants in both the PASTA project and a nutrition education class, as a control. In year 3 the project was conducted in Fort Greene, Brooklyn and Chelsea, Manhattan. Data analysis of year three showed 3 areas with significant findings - primarily related to identifying and accessing resources, knowledge of child or teen's where abouts and who they are with. Analysis of combined data from years 2 and 3 resulted in 9 questions with significant changes in knowledge and behavior. In the PASTA NYC Phase Two research project the project team will also reach out to kinship caregivers who are caring for children with special needs, as well as Spanish speaking caregivers in order to determine whether PASTA is able to address the needs of these audiences or whether adaptations to the curriculum are needed. Support is provided by Human Ecology/ BCTR faculty members Dr. Rachel Dunifon, Dr Kim Kopko, and Eliza Lathrop Cook, and an advisory team that includes campus faculty and staff as well as several field based, experienced Cooperative Extension staff members and colleagues from local agencies. Extension Current Extension Activities As a Senior Extension Associate with Cornell University Cooperative Extension in New York City, I am Program Leader for the Family and Youth Development program area. We are currently conducting several outreach projects in collaboration with Human Ecology faculty and staff, as well as organizations and community partners in New York City. Our outreach efforts fall within the categories of Healthy Lifestyles; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) related projects; Youth Leadership and Community Service; and Parenting Education. We are currently a partner with the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research (BCTR) on the Assets Coming Together (ACT) for Youth Center of Excellence that provides training, technical assistance and evaluation support for NYS Department of Health adolescent health programs throughout the state. In addition, we have just completed the third year of a three year, Smith Lever/ Hatch funded research study of the Parenting the Second Time Around (PASTA) project in New York City, and were funded to continue research on this topic, with additional emphasis on caregivers with children with special needs and spanish speaking families. In 2014 the Family & Youth Development Program also implemented the Youth Voice Youth Choice Program through which 49 teen leaders were trained to conduct workshops with middle school youth about healthy eating and fitness. They reached 424 youth and increased their own knowledge and awarenss about this topic as well as those of the youth involved. The curricula used for this project were Choose Health Food, Fun and Fitness (CHFFF) and Choose Health Action Teen (CHAT), both developed by Dr Wendy Wolfe in the Division of Nutritonal Sciences (DNS). The Family & Youth Development Program in NYC also implements the 4-H Club program and other 4-H Youth Development special projects, including several grant funded initiatives which are described on our websiteh:ttp://nyc.cce.cornell.edu Education Education 2008 1983 1972 Courses Websites Related Websites Ed.D.
