In Rethinking WIC, Douglas J. Besharov and Peter Germanis analyze the research on the effectiveness of the Special Supplemental Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Their assessment challenges the conventional wisdom that WIC is a uniquely successful program and demonstrates that many of the claims about WIC�s effectiveness are misleading exaggerations. Besharov and Germanis do not argue that WIC should be abandoned but that policymakers should undertake a sustained effort to make the program more effective.
Read Rethinking WIC to understand WIC�s strengths and weaknesses — and to learn about the six programmatic reforms and four research priorities the authors recommend.
