Does Prenatal WIC Participation Improve Birth Outcomes? New Evidence from Florida

Using data sets from Florida about all births between 1997 and 2001, the authors analyzed the effects of prenatal nutrition and education services provided by WIC on birth outcomes. Based on their results, WIC participation had no effect on mean birth weight and gestational age, but substantially reduced the likelihood of adverse birth outcomes, including birth weights below 2,500 grams.
