Abstract: The major purposes of this study were: 1) to determine food purchasing practices of low-income families before and after participation by the mother in an educational program, and 2) to compare food habits of children from low-income families whose mothers participated in an educational program with food habits of children from low-income families whose mothers did not participate in an educational program. The data were obtained from an experimental group of fifty-nine children enrolled in an after-school program at The North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University whose mothers attended at least six of the eight sessions of an educational program, a control group of fifty-nine children enrolled in the same after-school program whose mothers did not attend the educational program, and the thirty mothers of the fifty-nine children in the experimental group.
