N1 - Funding Information:
This work would not be possible without the research participants who participated in the GetFruved program and helped us understand the feedback and enhance the eB4CAST infographics. Further, we would like to thank our multistate partners from the Healthy Campus Research Consortium. Funding. This project was supported by AFRI Grant No. 2014-67001-21851 from the USDA NIFA, Get Fruved: A peer-led, train-the-trainer social marketing intervention to increase fruit and vegetable intake and prevent childhood obesity – A2101. Additional funding from the West Virginia Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station WVA00689 and WVA00721.

N2 - Communicating scientific results with community partners is often lacking in intervention programs, thus eB4CAST was developed to facilitate impact sharing. This article investigated using the eB4CAST dissemination tool to communicate impact from a campus-based obesity prevention program. Data from Get Fruved RCT university sites collected at baseline were used to generate eB4CAST reports. Experts (n = 13) and RCT sites (n = 15) were asked to provide feedback on eB4CAST reports based on appeal, understanding, and clarity. On all Likert items, participants rated above 7 on each (out of 10). Positive responses from open-ended questions included eB4CAST reports being clear, visually appealing, and aid in program understanding. Overall, eB4CAST was successful in relaying data and information for the Get Fruved program, thus a means for science communication that could be used in interventions. Utilizing infographics to report data and information is a feasible way to disseminate and communicate in a cost-effective, timely manner.
