Goals of this Project• To enhance the quality of WIC services
provided to PA WIC participants• To further VENA initiatives via an
evaluated and measurable, participant-centered nutrition education counseling approach that:
• Maintains continuity from visit to visit• Empowers participants • Benefits the participant
![Page 12: Guided Goal Setting: The Logical Next Step to VENA Presented by: Shirley H. Sword, MS, RD, LDN PA Department of Health – Division of WIC October 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649ccf5503460f9499bdd4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Guided Goal Setting (GGS): Defined
An approach used by the nutritionist in conjunction with the participant that involves critical thinking based on assessment to develop strategies for goal setting to achieve desired participant outcomes
![Page 14: Guided Goal Setting: The Logical Next Step to VENA Presented by: Shirley H. Sword, MS, RD, LDN PA Department of Health – Division of WIC October 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649ccf5503460f9499bdd4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Central Mission• Identification, development,
implementation, and evaluation of GGS as a WIC counseling method to: – Increase participant-centered approach – Enhance staff competency and critical
thinking skills– Assess participant commitment to food-
based behavior change– Extend nutrition education by
supplementing contact points with targeted reinforcements

GGS Evaluation:“Most Important Things Learned”
α Site β SiteHow to set goal with more emphasis on client perspective
Participant satisfaction is a goal we want to maintain; be more supportive to our participants
Different approaches to clients OK to brainstorm Examples of dialogue with participants
Effective communication for effective goal setting
The importance of goal setting and the way you present yourself
How to organize information
Allowing the participant to set goal
To include the WIC participant when making goals
Making the goals more specific, the who, action, number, etc.
How to make proper goals and documentation How to effectively and realistically develop customer based goals
I really enjoyed the concept maps Mapping

Suggestions after Pilot Testing
Based on α Site
• Modified the units to make them more consistent in presentation style
• Added a small amount of time to each unit
• Most substantial revision was to Unit 6 – TEAM approach
• Modified the way the documentation template was introduced in Unit 8
• Added the ‘Modified’ response option to Skill Set Survey Instrument
Based on β Site
• Spend more time on the last five units and less time on the overview
• Split into two sessions• More examples of goals and
documentation• Fewer evaluations or group
them• Good information but could
go at faster pace
![Page 40: Guided Goal Setting: The Logical Next Step to VENA Presented by: Shirley H. Sword, MS, RD, LDN PA Department of Health – Division of WIC October 14, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649ccf5503460f9499bdd4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Conclusions after Pilot Testing
• By establishing a baseline and a consistent structure for participant goal setting within PA WIC, there are now parameters upon which to evaluate the nutritionist-participant interaction and assess the efficacy of this counseling method to support participant behavior change.
• The GGS Training Module and Assessment Instruments provide a mechanism to address staff (both CPA/Nutritionist and Other Staff) competency to facilitate the goal setting process with WIC participants.
