Health Education Activities:
Women Infants and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program (WIC) - National Nutrition Month:
The Mahoning County WIC Program serves upwards of 5,000 women and children annually. In March of 2014, WIC celebrated National Nutrition Month with the theme “Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right.” Throughout the month, Mahoning County WIC Staff focused attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. WIC staff conducted a cooking demonstration to promote the flavors and nutrient value of leafy greens. WIC families learned that arugula and watercress add a spicy kick to tasty side salads and they were offered the opportunity to taste a variety of different leafy green vegetables. WIC families were provided food safety information and recipes and tips on how to add other vegetables, fruits, and seasonings to salads. They were also offered the opportunity to savor the flavors of the salads prepared by our staff. Families received information about how to incorporate into daily life simple low cost/no cost physical activities, such as tossing a ball to each other in the backyard or going for a walk in the park. This event was held at all three WIC Clinic sites it was enjoyed by all those in attendance.
Safe Sleep/Cribs For Kids:
Throughout 2014, the MCDBOH continued efforts to reduce infant mortality. As a Cribs for Kids program partner, MCDBOH was able to provide Pack-n-Play portable cribs to over 40 families that otherwise would not have had a safe sleep environment for their infant. In addition to receiving the crib, families receive education on what constitutes a safe sleep environment and how to provide that environment for their infant. They also receive a Halo Sleep Sack, a sheet for the portable crib and a book titled Sleep Baby, Safe and Snug.
Tobacco Cessation Programs:
It is well known that tobacco use increases the risk of heart disease, cancer and stroke, the nation’s leading causes of death. And, it is equally clear that smoking during pregnancy leads to higher rates of low birth weight and prematurity, the highest risk factors for infant mortality. Yet in 2014, 22% of Mahoning County adult residents were self-reported smokers. Becoming tobacco free can be very challenging. To help reduce these risks and improve the community’s health, the MCDBOH Certified Tobacco Cessation Specialist is providing tobacco cessation programs to assist individuals wishing to break the habit. The N-O-T Program (Not On Tobacco), helps teens 14-19 identify their reasons for smoking and find healthy alternatives to smoking. The Baby & Me Tobacco Free Program provides cessation support and practical incentives to pregnant and post-partum women. In addition, the MCDBOH Smoking Cessation Specialist is available to work with individuals on their own journey to becoming tobacco free.
