WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices Study

To understand the early determinants of child obesity in order to design appropriate and effective prevention strategies that will improve the health of young children, the Center will collaborate with Westat, UCLA researchers and other members of the research team in the development and implementation of the "WIC Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices Study" (WIC ITFPS-2) evaluation. CWH staff will provide expertise in the areas of data collection tools, data analysis and interpretation of weight- and nutrition-related data in women during pregnancy and in infants and toddlers, and provide technical support and advice on the study design, study implementation, analysis and reports.
