The longitudinal study of pregnant women enrolled a national probability sample of 5,205 women first certified for WIC and 1,358 comparable low-income pregnant women in 174 WIC clinics located in 58 areas in the contiguous 48 states and in 55 prenatal clinics without WIC programs in counties with low program coverage. The women completed 24-h dietary recalls, histories of food expenditures, health care utilization, health and sociodemographic status, and anthropometric assessment. At late-pregnancy follow-up 3,967 WIC and 1043 control women were interviewed and 853 WIC and 762 control women completed 1-wk food expenditure diaries. Birth outcome was abstracted (from hospital records) for 3,863 WIC and 1058 control women. Anthropometry, dietary intake, health, and use of health services were related to WIC among 2,619 random low-income preschoolers. Psychological development was assessed in 526 children aged 4 and 5 y. Control women had higher income, education, and employment status; therefore, WIC program benefits probably were underestimated.
