Clinical Trial Summary

WIC is a governmental program that provides healthy foods, nutrition education and referrals to other health and social services. With the goal of applying for a future grant to expand the dissemination of SmartLoss® within the WIC program, feedback from WIC staff and WIC clients must be solicited to better understand the burden and barriers of integrating these kinds of programs and with WIC participants.

Description:

Participants will complete a 15 minute online survey. WIC Staff will be eligible to complete the WIC staff survey and WIC clients will be eligible to complete the WIC client survey. This is a qualitative research study designed to identify the receptiveness of implementing a weight management program in the WIC program and the barriers to weight management intervention as described by WIC staff and WIC clients.
