The first 1,000 survey responses are in! Learn what LA County WIC families are experiencing in 2020.

This year WIC families face unprecedented and rapidly evolving challenges, and we feel fortunate to be able to talk to them to capture their experiences. The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic hardships have dramatically impacted WIC-participating families in L.A. County. The Los Angeles County WIC survey is a triennial survey of WIC participants conducted every 3 years since 2005. Since its first administration in 2005, the L.A. County WIC survey has allowed us to delve more deeply into the experiences and health conditions of WIC-participating families. This year’s survey commenced data collection in late July, 2020 and will survey over 5000 WIC families in the county through the end of the year.  The survey data in this dashboard will be updated at regular intervals to provide a timely picture of the needs and experiences of a representative sample of WIC families in 2020. We hope that this data will assist WIC, community partners, and organizations advocating for the welfare of families with young children understand and respond to these acute challenges.
