Virginia Department of Health (VDH) WIC Assessment

VTIPG assisted the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) in assessing the strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in utilization of the Women, Infants and Children’s Special Supplemental Nutrition (WIC) program among foster care parents of eligible children and young women. This project also developed outreach strategies to expand the utilization of the WIC program among foster care families and children. Mary Beth Dunkenberger was the Principle Investigator, with the support of research faculty George Still.
