Survey collection is complete! Learn what LA County WIC families are experiencing in 2020.

September 30, 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. With 6,759 Los Angeles County WIC Survey responses completed, we can get a sense of how COVID-19 has impacted the lives of WIC-participating families. Nearly half (45%) of WIC-participating households have at least one parent working fewer hours due to COVID-19, and 35% have at least one parent who has lost a job due to COVID-19. Childcare usage has also changed, with 73% of families who reported using childcare having changed the amount of childcare in response to the pandemic. Please see these and other data presented in our LAC WIC Survey Data Dashboard.
