[Agency] NIH [Project Title] EVALUATING ECONOMIC SUBSIDIES TO IMPROVE DIETARY INTAKE AMONG LOW INCOME FAMILIES [Institution] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO [Amount] $495,446 [Summary] In an effort to improve dietary intake and address the high prevalence of obesity among low-income children, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children (WIC) plans to revise their food packages. The overall purpose of the proposed study is to examine the mechanisms by which economic incentives offered in a large food assistance program impacts dietary intake of children. If the planned economic incentives produce improved dietary intake and altered weight gain trajectory among these high-risk children, this could have profound implications for heath disparities in this population.
