Fruit and Vegetable Intake and Diet Quality of Children by Massachusetts WIC Enrollment Status
Objectives: Children 1-4 years old enrolled in the Massachusetts WIC program receive a cash value benefit (CVB) of $26 per month for fruits and vegetables. This study’s objective was to evaluate differences in fruit and vegetable intake and diet quality by WIC enrollment status two years after this CVB amount (an increase over its original level of $11 per month) was made permanent in Massachusetts.
