Hi! How to get WIC participants to come to bf classes? Tie it to voucher pickups! This is what we did in our clinic for many years. We provided a group education for our "secondary nutrition education contact" when women came to get their vouchers. Classes were fairly short (about 30 min), participants got their vouchers at the end. When our clinic was large (about 3000 participants) we did this to accomodate everyone on a 2-month schedule. When we decreased our clinic size (by opening other clinics) and increased pickups to every 3 months, our class sizes and attendance began to decline. Also, some women would just not come because they didn't like group situations (they could always get individual counseling, but we tried to steer them to the class). During pregnancy, we offered two classes, "Infant Feeding Choices" and "Breastfeeding Basics". We tried to get all pregnant participants to come to the first class (where we touted the benefits of breastfeeding) and then those who were interested in bf, we scheduled their next voucher pickup for a class day. We offered the classes only once/week (sometimes only twice a month). Good luck! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
