Caption
Leslie Hodges, PhD, discusses a new study examining how families engage with the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) during the first months after the birth of a child may influence whether they remain enrolled through their child's first year. Their findings suggest that strengthening participant engagement during pregnancy and early infancy may improve retention so that families receive the full benefits the program offers.
