The WIC Nutrition Education Study provides a nationally representative description of WIC nutrition education and includes a pilot of an impact study of WIC nutrition education on behavioral and physical activity outcomes in six sites. This two-phase study includes multiple modes of data collection from State agencies, local agencies, nutrition educators, and WIC participants. The multi-method approach includes the use of web surveys, paper-based surveys, telephone interviews, in-person focus groups and interviews, observations, and administrative data reviews to fully capture WIC nutrition education dosage, duration, and frequency of use by geographic distribution and local agency characteristics. Currently, the Phase I: Interim Report is under review and the study is collecting Phase II data.
In 2011, FNS published a report on the choices each WIC State agency had made in 2009 in exercising the flexibilities allowed under the new WIC food packages. Since this early implementation, the WIC food package final rule has been published and States have made numerous adjustments to their policy choices. This study will update the previous study with an examination of which foods States offer in their food packages after 5 years of experience with the new food packages.
