Assessing and Improving WIC Enrollment in the Primary Care Setting: A Quality Initiative.

Background And Objectives: The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides food and other resources to mitigate the harmful effects of food insecurity on child and maternal health. From a 2009 peak, nationwide WIC participation declined through 2020. Our objectives were to understand factors influencing WIC engagement and improve WIC enrollment through novel, primary care-based quality improvement interventions.
