REseArCH INteGration in Women, Infants, and Children

WIC is a governmental program that provides healthy foods, nutrition education and referrals to other health and social services. With the goal of applying for a future grant to expand the dissemination of SmartLoss® within the WIC program, feedback from WIC staff and WIC clients must be solicited to better understand the burden and barriers of integrating these kinds of programs and with WIC participants.
