Clinic/county specific graphic summaries of the demographic characteristics of the population and prevalence of the five nutritional indicators are also generated by OSEPHI for use by the local WIC agencies.

WIC Infant MICA

The WIC MICA data are acquired from the WIC Certification data set. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program For Women, Infants, and Children is a U.S. Department of Agriculture program, which was authorized by the U.S. Congress in 1972. The main purposes of the WIC Program are to provide food supplements, nutritional risk assessments, nutrition education, and health and social services referrals to low-to-moderate income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five (Less than 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Level). To find out more information on WIC go to: www.dhss.mo.gov/wic/index.html.

The data utilized to develop the WIC MICAs is acquired differently than that which is presented by CDC in the PNSS reports so numbers and percents will not be the same.
