Sorry, WIC is a government program, basically for pregnant women, and also supports women and children after pregnancy, I believe until the kids are five years old.  They support proper nutrition and health, as well as breastfeeding.  Any informatino or reosurces pertaining to preganacay health, pregnancy nutrition, or early childhood nutrition I believe would fit perfectly into their program ideas.  This is my first time possibly collaborating with the organization, so I am not familiar with their entire program, but I believe this is an appropriate synopsis.  Thank you for your interest and I am very interested to hear of any resources or expetise you could offer.
   
  Thank you,
  Matt

      Hi Matt, You'll have to forgive those non-clinicals among us - could you define WIC? I do very general campaigns for HL in October, and may have some ideas to help you with your project. The reason mine are general is because (going from the 3 part model of access, interpretation, action) I work very closely with patients on the access of health information as well as with clinical managers on the creation of health information.

  Colleagues - 
    I am starting the planning phase of a health literacy campaign targeting WIC participants in our county.  I was wandering if anyone else has done a similiar program, or if anyone else is interested in this. I would love to share our ideas with you and discuss your ideas as we try to develop an effective program.  Thank you.
   
  Matt
