The WIC Nutrition Education Study (NEST) provides detailed information on WIC nutrition education services and includes the following two phases:

-- Phase I: Comprehensive nationally representative description of WIC nutrition education processes and features.

-- Phase II: Pilot study of the impact of WIC nutrition education on nutrition and other behaviors in six WIC sites.

This report presents the Phase I results of the study.

This study, Models of SNAP Education and Evaluation (Wave I), is the first of two FNS-initiated independent evaluations designed to identify potential models of effective SNAP-Ed nutrition education and impact evaluation.
