Abstract: This report addressed to the Secretary of Agriculture, discusses the need to improve management effectiveness and to make better use of limited resources in the Food and Nutrition Service's Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The report contains recommendations which are intended to help ensure that the funds made for WIC are directed first to those among the eligible population who are the most vulnerable and thus likely to benefit the most from WIC intervention. Recommendations given include: targeting the most needy population groups; using professional authorities to reassess WIC participation standards; focusing greater attention on income eligibility of participants; and establishing stricter and more comprehensive participant file records.
Abstract: This report is based on the responses to the Select Committee on Hunger's questionnaire and a review of information currently available on WIC Program operation. Topics discussed are program participation rates and funding, barriers to participation, innovations implemented to expand participation, and recommendations for improvement and expansion of the program service.

Abstract: A comprehensive report describes the first phase of a USDA Food and Nutrition Service evaluation of the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The evaluation was conducted to provide information to the US Congress and the Administration for reauthorization legislation in 1984, to provide factual evaluation data for WIC legislative and administrative decision-makers, and to advance the scientific technology for nutrition program evaluation. The report covers a brief summary of the WIC Program. The rationale and objectives of the evaluation and a detailed synopsis of 4 major information gathering activities to guide the selection of research questions and the evaluation design are also covered. The relevant literature concerning appropriate evaluation measures, major extant databases related to the WIC Program, and a telephone survey of WIC agencies are discussed. This information is synthesized into a set of key research questions to be addressed in conducting the WIC Program evaluation through the development of a WIC conceptual model. (wz).
