Adult Taste Test Tool

This tool was developed for use with adult taste testing activities typically conducted in a group setting. If you conducted taste tests with multiple groups at one site, each group should be collected and entered as a separate survey.

Plan, Shop, Save and Cook (PSSC)

The purpose of the PSSC pre/post survey is to collect information about changes in food resource management behaviors and the condition of food security among adults from under-resourced communities participating in a series of food resource management education classes using a tested survey instrument. It is recommended to use the PSSC pre/post survey to evaluate adult food resource management education programming when delivering four or more sessions of series-based education over at least four weeks in adult education settings.

Adult Qualitative Half Sheet

The adult qualitative feedback survey (English/Spanish) is a half sheet designed to capture valuable narrative responses to help provide immediate feedback on local programming and quotes for local teams to include in reports and promotional materials.

Intent to Change (ITC)

The purpose of the 17 ITC surveys is to collect information about adult participants’ current practices and future intentions related to a single health behavior. Each ITC focuses on a different diet, physical activity, or food resource management topic and is designed to evaluate single sessions or workshops. A complete set is available.


Food Behavior Checklist and Physical Activity (FBC + PA)

The FBC + PA is used to evaluate adult nutrition and physical activity education programming in settings where four or more sessions of series-based direct education is being delivered over at least four weeks. The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) CalFresh Healthy Living team translated the FBC (without PA) into additional languages including Arabic, Russian, simplified and traditional Chinese, and Vietnamese.


Healthy, Happy Families (HHF)

The purpose of the HHF pre/post survey is to collect information about changes in child feeding practices from parents and caregivers of preschool-aged children from under-resourced communities using a tested survey instrument. It is recommended to use the HHF pre/post survey to evaluate the HHF curriculum in adult education settings when delivering series-based child feeding practices education over at least four weeks. Series-based child feeding practices education is defined as: A minimum of HHF lessons one to three in combination with either lesson six, seven, or eight or six or more HHF lessons.
