Multi-sector perspectives on opportunities to increase WIC enrollment through community healthcare partnerships
Across participant groups, we identified broad support for improving WIC engagement through community-healthcare partnerships. Through analysis of multi-sector perspectives organized by socio-ecological model domains, our results highlight systemic gaps and corresponding opportunities to improve awareness of WIC services and streamline WIC referrals through healthcare-based interventions at the organizational and community levels.
