Abstract

Both the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women Infants and Children WIC and Head Start/Early Head Start HS/EHS Programs serve lowincome women and children at high risk for health disparities yet they do not have a formal statelevel partnership in Connecticut Both programs serve children up to age five yet children’s participation in the WIC Program declines sharply after 2 years of age limiting the potential benefits of crossprogram participation The goal of this study is to examine current and prospective collaboration efforts among the WIC and HS/EHS Programs in Connecticut and identify barriers to collaboration An online survey was administered to staff from both programs Six focus groups were held in January 2012 with staff and participants from both programs Results showed areas of existing collaboration between local WIC and HS/EHS Programs yet also identified many areas where relationships could be strengthened or established Common themes that were identified included a need for more knowledge among staff about the other program collaboration involving sharing of client information and improving referral procedures Staff from both programs strongly expressed interest in a crossprogram collaboration 73  of HS staff and 86  of WIC staff This research serves as a framework for how a statelevel collaboration could be established in Connecticut to enable these two programs to work together more efficiently and effectively for the benefit of mothers and children Results can provide other State WIC Programs with a blueprint for collaborating with HS/EHSThis project has been funded at least in part with Federal funds from US Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service 2011 WIC Special Projects Concept Paper Grant The content of this publication does not necessarily reflect the view or policies of the US Department of Agriculture nor does mention of trade names commercial products or organizations imply endorsement by the US Government We thank the Connecticut Department of Public Health WIC Program State agency staff and Connecticut Head Start State Collaboration Office for their contribution to this project We also thank the local WIC and Head Start Program staff and participants for their time and for sharing their thoughts and feedback
