title: Integrating evaluation tools to assess nutrition education.
abstract: Evaluation is important for accountability, for planning, and for learning how to continuously refine and improve nutrition education with low-income families. The tools described in this special issue are intended to provide a resource to such evaluations. The special issue grew out of a series of USDA working groups to identify evaluation tools for nutrition education with low-income families.* I express my thanks to the many individuals who contributed to this effort.
