<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>National Health Education Week is coming! In light of recent headlines regarding food recalls and safety issues, this year's theme is Let's Dish: Food Safety at the Table. Taking place from October 19-23, the week will provide a timely and relevant opportunity to discuss food safety issues. </DIV>
<DIV><BR>A webinar featuring a panel of food safety experts is scheduled to kick off National Health Education Week. Resources available online and in print will emphasize the importance and relevance of food safety, explain the role of health education in food safety, and provide examples of how health educators can address this important topic in their communities. More specifically, a toolkit will outline recent food safety news, identify common foodborne pathogens, highlight at-risk populations, and provide case examples of how to reach members of a community in a variety of settings. The toolkit will provide sample handouts and fact sheets as well as links to websites that offer additional educational resources. Tips for communicating with the media and spreading the word through social media (Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc) will also be included. <BR><BR>For more information on this year's National Health Education Week, please stay tuned to the <A href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=45821095&msgid=588229&act=WC2N&c=303439&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sophe.org" target=_blank>Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) website</A>. </DIV></DIV></DIV></TD></TR>

<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV></TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD vAlign=top colSpan=3>
<DIV>
<DIV>This study examines the economic coping strategies of low-income families, using data collected through qualitative interviews conducted in 2006-08 with 35 low-income women residing in the Detroit metropolitan area. Three rounds of interviews found that the majority of the sample were employed at least some of the time, and most had children living with them. Despite careful shopping practices, rising food prices forced cutbacks in purchase of certain foods, including milk, cereal, fruits, and meat. Just under half reported running out of food at some point during the year. As for government assistance, the then named Food Stamp Program, and now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), was their mainstay. Even when eligible for benefits, many of the families did not receive cash assistance, unemployment benefits, or workers' compensation due to perceived access barriers. </DIV>

<P>The novel H1N1 virus remains the dominant virus in Alabama, with more than 99 percent of the recently circulating influenza viruses confirmed as that strain. The frequency of disease shows that there has been a dramatic increase in people presenting with H1N1 influenza, with the percent of people with influenza-like symptoms seen in doctors' offices increasing from less than 1 percent on July 25 to almost 8 percent on Aug. 29. <A href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=45821095&msgid=588229&act=WC2N&c=303439&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.medicalnewstoday.com%2Farticles%2F163421.php" target=_blank>More . . .</A></P></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>Work Conditions Impact Parents' Food Choices</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV>Since most parents in the US are employed, there are competing demands on their time that can compromise food choices for themselves and their children. How parents cope with these demands and how work conditions are related to food choice coping strategies are the subjects of a study in the September/October issue of the <I>Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior</I>. Findings suggest that better work conditions may be associated with more positive strategies such as more home-prepared meals, eating with the family, keeping healthful food at work, and less meal skipping.</DIV>
