What We Do
Overview
The NUEVA project is leveraging community-engaged and mixed methods approaches to design, implement, and evaluate a multi-functional and multi-platform app for senior nutrition programs in Central Texas. Currently, we are applying theories and models to create and pilot test a prototype for the app and web interface. Over the next year, we will complete additional testing and modification of the NUEVA app. Ultimately, our work will help to build capacity for policy, systems, and environmental changes to support senior nutrition in our region and beyond.

Our team has created story maps in ArcGIS to highlight gaps and opportunities related to food access for senior nutrition, including food insecurity.
