WIC Evaluations Provide Some Favorable But No Conclusive Evidence on the Effects Expected for the Special Supplemental Program for Women, Infants, and Children


Book Description

Abstract: This GAO report analyzes the evaluations of the WIC program to determine whether these evaluations support assertions about the program's positive effects. GAO found insufficient evidence for making any general or conclusive judgements about WIC's effectiveness overall. In a limited way, however, the information indicates the liklihood that WIC has modestly positive effects in some areas.
