Abstract:

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides supplemental food and nutrition education to low-income or nutritionally at-risk women, infants and young children. This North Carolina study examined prenatal WIC participants and non-participants, and compared Medicaid births, birth weight and Medicaid newborn costs.
