Abstract: This five volume report evaluates the WIC program and its activities. Volume I summarizes the results of the overall study, volumes II and III contain the technical report while volumes IV and V contain the appendixes. Topics include: objectives and design of the WIC program; effect of the WIC program on the diet of women, infants, and children; effect of WIC benefits on fetal and childhood growth, development, and survival; effect of WIC program participation on use of health services and health promoting behavior; and effect of WIC benefits on family food expenditures.
This book reviews the scientific basis for nutrition risk criteria used to establish eligibility for participation in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). The volume also examines the specific segments of the WIC population at risk for each criterion, identifies gaps in the scientific knowledge base, formulates recommendations regarding appropriate criteria, and where applicable, recommends values for determining who is at risk for each criterion. Recommendations for program action and research are made to strengthen the validity of nutrition risk criteria used in the WIC program.
