2 Introduction 19 years old Fairbank, Iowa Des Moines Area Community College -> Iowa State University World Food Prize and Hormel -> CeSSIAM I came into this internship with little to none experience with research and data analysis.

3 Internship Design 3 weeks in Panajachel Circumference Measurements 1 week in Guatemala City Hormel Employee Engagement trip 4 weeks in Antigua Incaparina Project

4 Part1: Panajachel

5 Host Family! Monica Orozco Rafa (10) Brianna (6)

6 My responsibility Collect Data samples 64 volunteers Xolbe Neighborhood School in Sololá Children under 12 years old Analyze data Excel Repeatability Reproducibility

7 Purpose To determine how reproducible will be the anthropometry measurement of circumferential measurements (head, neck, abdomen), by a young, unexperienced measurer.

8 For all measurements Use a flexible, non stretchy measuring tape Apply directly to the skin Take each measurement twice per child Precision of measurement shall be 1 or.5 Head and neck: taken in cm, also converted to mm Waist: taken in cm

9 Measuring the head Around the most prominent part of the head Just above the eyebrows Widest part of the back of the head ***Want the child to have the biggest head possible

10 Measuring the head (cont.) DON T: DO:

11 Measuring the neck Just below the Adam s apple Difficult to find on kids Lean head back and feel for bump

12 Measuring the neck (cont.) DON T: DO:

13 Measuring the waist Just above the belly button Tight across the back Natural breathing ***Want the child to have the smallest waist possible

14 Measuring the waist (cont.) DON T: DO:

15 Our results Characteristics Grade 1 (18) Grade 2 (19) Grade 3 (13) Grade 4 (14) Female (%) Age Mean Min Max

16 Our results (continued) Investigator Repeatability Reproducibility Highest Lowest Highest Lowest 1 HC 3 rd & 4 th grade WC 3 rd & 4 th grade 2 NC 1 st & 2 nd grade WC 1 st grade HC NC

30 My responsibility Test INCAPARINA and Whey Protein 51 volunteers Mothers from Nuestros Ahijados Analyze data Google Forms Excel

31 Purpose To determine the usage of INCAPARINA and the likeability of the product with added whey protein by mothers from a poor community.

32 How to collect data Three Phases Questionnaire Finding Preferences Determining the likeability

33 How to prepare INCAPARINA In a bowl mix well: 4 tablespoons INCAPARINA 4 tablespoons Sugar In a pot mix until dissolved: Dry mixture 4 cups of water Boil for 8 minutes stirring constantly

34 How to prepare INCAPARINA Continued When adding whey protein: Prepare like regular Measure out 200 ml of INCAPARINA Add one packet of whey protein Mix until dissolved

35 Phase 1: Questionnaire Helps determine the use of INCAPARINA Asks simple questions What kind of Atol do you drink? Do you add sugar? How often do you consume? At what temperature? Do you drink flavored Incaparina?

36 Phase 2: Finding Preferences Prepare four flavors of INCAPARINA in small cups labeled A D Cup A: Vanilla Cup B: Chocolate Cup C: Strawberry Cup D: Regular Rank 1-4 with 1 being the most favorable Ask what they think about the preparation Flavor, sugar, consistency, temperature

37 Phase 3: Testing Likeability Use the same participants from Phase Two Prepare two cups labeled E and F Cup E: Their favorite INCAPARINA flavor Cup F: Their favorite INCAPARINA flavor + added protein Ask: Same or different? What do you think of the preparation? Would you drink the other if given?

38 Age (years) Study Statistics Age Distribution Max: 70 years Min: 17 years Median: 27 years Number of Participants Phase 1: 51 women - Phase 2: 36 women - Phase 3: 35 women

39 Phase 1 Results Percentage of women consuming various gruels

40 Phase 1 results (continued) Most frequently consumed type of gruel Second most frequently consumed type of gruel

41 n % Usually adds sugar to gruels Yes No Usual frequency of consumption of gruels Phase 1 results (continued) 1 time per day times per day More than 2 times per day Usual temperature of the gruels consumed Hot Tepid/lukewarm Cold Usual thickens of the gruels prepared Thin Medium Thick Usually consumes flavored Incaparina Yes No Would purchase flavored Incaparina if able Yes No 3 5.9

42 Phase 2 results Ranking of Preference 1 st 2 nd 3 rd 4 th Chocolate: most commonly ranked as 1 st Vanilla: most commonly ranked as 2 nd Original: most commonly ranked as 3 rd Strawberry: most commonly ranked as 4 th

43 Phase 2 results (continued) 2/3 (66.7%) of women said the preparation was perfect Too hot = 2 Too cold = 2 Too thin = 6 Too thick = 1 Not sweet enough = 1

44 Phase 3 results n % Gruels with and without protein supplement were considered The same Different The preferred gruel was preparation* E (favorite Incaparina flavor) F (favorite Incaparina flavor with protein supplement)

45 Phase 3 results (continued) Why F(added protein) was liked: Flavor = 9 Why F(added protein) was NOT liked: Flavor = 2 Consistency = 4 Too cold = 2 *** 12 women referred to the gruel with added protein as milky, 7 of which liked this feature.

46 Phase 3 results (continued) 100% would still consume the less preferred gruel if offered. On mother said, Because I am a mother, I have to eat everything.

52 What I have learned

53 Research related Organizing a project in a foreign place Culture Thinking out of the box Importance of practice Analyzing data Writing scientific reports

54 Personal Importance of a smile Communicating in another language when you are not fluent is difficult. Must portray yourself to be friendly with lots of energy for others to trust you. Kindness and compassion Trust others How to: Take nothing for granted Live in the moment Love life

55 THANK YOU!!! I would like to extend a very LARGE thank you to all who helped me along my journey. Without all of you, I would not have been able to have an experience of a lifetime and learn so much. Throughout this process, I have grown as a person. My eyes are now open to many more possibilities, my mind is much clearer, and my heart is ready to continue serving. Thank you again. I appreciate all of you much more than you will ever know!
