Program effectiveness was indicated by changes in weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and confidence in ability to eat healthy and be physically active.Online class participants (n = 398) had significantly greater reductions in BMI, weight, and waist circumference than in-person class participants (n = 1,313). Physical activity confidence increased more for in-person than online class participants. There was no difference for healthy eating confidence.This project demonstrates the feasibility of using synchronous distance-education technology to deliver a weight management program. Synchronous online delivery could be employed with no loss to improvements in BMI, weight, and waist circumference.}, number={6}, journal={Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Dunn, Carolyn and Whetstone, Lauren MacKenzie and Kolasa, Kathryn M. and Jayaratne, K.S.U. and Thomas, Cathy and Aggarwal, Surabhi and Nordby, Kelly and Riley, Kenisha E.M.}, year={2014}, month={Nov}, pages={602–609} }

Extension specialists and county agents in horticulture, community development, family consumer science and 4-H youth development worked together to develop program materials, training and evaluation tools. A series of workshops were conducted around the state for Extension Master Gardener Volunteers, county Extension agents, community gardeners, and public and non profit agency staff. In addition integration beyond Extension included public health and community-based partners. A statewide website and listserve were created to distribute supporting information and promote communication.}, journal={Acta Horticulturae}, author={Bradley, Lucy and Baldwin, K. and Jakes, S. and Jayaratne, K.
