No 358292, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Excerpt from the report Summary: An Advisory Committee on Nutrition Evaluation was established pursuant to Public Law 94-105 to determine how best to evaluate the health benefits of the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC Program). The Committee consists of 12 members representing various health care professions. In this report, nutrition evaluations performed in the United States, which may have application to future evaluations of the WIC Program, are summarized. Information derived from these previous evaluations was used in the development of the four proposed evaluations of the WIC Program which the Committee presents in this report. Recommendations on how best to evaluate the WIC Program are also made.
