The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) for mothers and their anemic children under 5 years of age. Sample for the study was 50 anemic children, 25 in each of two groups. The interventions (treatments) for the experimental group included individual counseling, group nutrition classes, and provision of WIC food vouchers for purchasing foods containing essential nutrients that are deficient in the diets of this high-risk population. An initial dietary assessment was done, and hemoglobin and hematocrit measurements were taken. At the end of 6 months, each participant's diet was reassessed, and hemoglobin and hematocrit measurements were again taken. Results of the study showed a 1.8 gm change in the hemoglobin measurements of the members of the experimental group and a 1.1 gm change in the hemoglobin measurements of the members of the control group.
本研究的目的是确定妇女、婴儿和儿童补充食品计划（WIC）对母亲及其5岁以下贫血儿童的有效性。该研究的样本为50名贫血儿童，分为两组，每组25名。实验组的干预措施（治疗方法）包括个体咨询、集体营养课程，以及提供WIC食品券，用于购买富含该高危人群饮食中缺乏的必需营养素的食品。进行了初步的饮食评估，并测量了血红蛋白和血细胞比容。在6个月末，对每位参与者的饮食进行重新评估，并再次测量血红蛋白和血细胞比容。研究结果显示，实验组成员的血红蛋白测量值变化了1.8克，对照组成员的血红蛋白测量值变化了1.1克。
