Table 1 Focus group results: Themes and modifications to course

What information is new to you? What information is helpful? What information is too repetitive?

- There is a wide range of baseline knowledge.

- Providers who participate in CACFP and newer providers are more familiar with this content.

Is there something you would like to know more about?

- Milk: Differences between organic and hormone-free; allergies and intolerances; and nutritional equivalents

- Juice: reading labels, making home-made juice, serving size, concentrates vs. non-concentrated

- Water: bottled water quality, fluoride safety, tap water contaminants

Would you take this training? What could be improved?
