Data Narrative

Measure #1, #2, and #5: from Annual Customer Service Survey administered to WIC Participants late fall. Measure #3 and #4 Issuance and final redemption of Farmer's Market Coupon Booklets from Maryland Department of Agriculture (each book has four $5 coupons). Coupons may be redeemed at authorized Farmer Markets in Maryland. Supplemental benefit for WIC participants. Issuance is derived from issue logs at WIC, final redemption from reporting Maryland Department of Agriculture. Measures 1, 2 and 5. Information from Annual Nutrition Surveys of WIC Participants and Caregivers in Garrett County. 2019 survey had 184 respondents, conducted May, June and part of July 2019. Measures #1, 2 and 5 Taken from annual survey of WIC participants in the 2019 Nutrition Survey. Participants taking the survey from year to year vary in total numbers, so percentages are used to reflect activity. 2019 survey was for 184 families. Measures #6-10 Actual Dollar amount issued and redeemed for WIC Participants in Garrett County for fruit and vegetable benefit of food prescription for each participant. Source of data is State generated Report derived from WOW (WIC on The Web Management information System). Currently available special request from State Office Deputy Director Deborah Morgan. Data is always two months behind on current month. Issuance is through the end of the month of any calendar month, redemption occurs in month following issuance. After long-term monitoring of under-redemption of fruit and vegetable benefit, staff began several initiatives in July 2018 to attempt to positively impact utilization of benefits. Strategies include personalized review of utilization with participants when in clinic and encouragement to use all benefits issued. General education on types of fruits and vegetables which may be purchased and shopping tips are also covered. A general education program is scheduled as part of the FY19 Nutrition Services Plan January-March 2019 to reinforce that all forms count and encourage use. We hope to see an improvement in utilization over the next year. Staff began asking participants about fruit and vegetable usage during visits in September, October and December 2018. Percentages dropped. In January 2019 began a quarterly nutrition education program related to benefits of Canned, Frozen and Fresh Fruits and Vegetables. Following education all staff have been instructed to review fruit and vegetable usage with participants, attempt to identify barriers, and develop strategies with participants on ways to increase utilization. Low utilization has been an agenda item at monthly staff meetings. Preparation for general Nutrition Education topic in Jan-March 2019 quarter was conducted at staff meeting. topic for quarter is all forms count...frozen, canned and fresh. Along with general discussion and presentation of materials staff will review usage for each WIC family on usage history, and will explore with them on how to utilize all benefits. Expectation is for trends to increase in spent benefits and percentage of benefits being spent, and decrease in unspent benefits.
