The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a federal assistance program in the United States that provides nutrition education, healthy food, and other support services to low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children. The program aims to improve the health and well-being of participants by promoting healthy eating habits, preventing nutrition-related health problems, and supporting overall family wellness. WIC is administered at the state and local levels, and participants receive food vouchers or electronic benefit cards to purchase specific nutritious foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein sources. In addition to food assistance, WIC also offers breastfeeding support, nutrition counseling, and referrals to other health and social services. Research on the WIC program often focuses on evaluating its impact on participants' health outcomes, food consumption patterns, and overall well-being.
