“…Additionally, the lack of child care for group participants affected program completion. Overall, participants had positive responses about the entire program; however, some activities were not viewed as helpful, including the physical activity component.Structured observations have been conducted to evaluate the paraprofessional nutrition educator's fidelity to the program curriculum to improve EFNEP and SNAP-Ed programming(Paddock & Dollahite, 2012).Hoover and colleagues (2009b) conducted structured observations (n=43) on paraprofessional nutrition educators (n=30) who taught lessons in an individual setting (74%) or a group setting (26%) in all Iowa counties (n=14) offering EFNEP or FSNE (now SNAP-Ed). Paraprofessional nutrition educators' use of open-ended or closed-ended questions was observed during the delivery of curriculum and categorized as knowledge, application, clarification, or conversational questions.…”

I would like to acknowledge my major professor, Ruth E. Litchfield, and my committee members, Sarah L. Francis and Ulrike Genschel, for their guidance and support throughout the course of this research. Further, I would like to acknowledge the program director of EFNEP/SNAP-Ed, Christine Hradek, and the staff at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, specifically, Jody Gatewood and Justine Hoover, who made this research project possible. I want to also offer my appreciation to the nutrition educators and participants who were willing to participate in the surveys, focus group discussions, and structured observations, without whom this thesis would not exist.In addition, I would also like to thank my lab mates, Jessica Szczepanski, Hilary Green, Jennifer Pilut, and Hailey Ebacher, for their constant assistance and guidance throughout the entirety of this project. Lastly, I would like to thank my friends and family for being my support system and making my time at Iowa State University a wonderful experience.

Site visits are frequently used by evaluators to gain first-hand experience and knowledge about program implementation. However, few peer-reviewed articles describe the procedures used for designing and conducting site visits. This article describes the process of constructing and using a systematic site visit protocol. Theories and concepts of evaluation, including the measurement of fidelity and quality and the importance of context to site-level implementation, guided the construction of this protocol. Using a systematic method for program inquiry can improve the consistency of qualitative observations of program activities by enhancing intentionality, transparency, and emergence within the site visit process. The method presented may be especially helpful to novice evaluators and their mentors in learning about and teaching the process of conducting site visits.
