OverviewValue Enhanced Nutrition Assessment is part of WIC's initiative to revitalize nutrition services. This initiative standardizes a process for completing a comprehensive nutrition assessment. It expands the purpose of nutrition assessment from eligibility determination to improved nutrition education. Value Enhanced Nutrition Assessment improves the risk assessment process by ensuring that a medical-nutritional assessment is completed along with a streamlined dietary assessment for collecting information for individualized nutrition services
Assessment QuestionsThe Washington WIC Nutrition Program uses standardized questions when program eligibility is determined and as part of the mid-certification health assessment. The question lists are specific to client category and age. These questions allow WIC staff to assure federal regulations to conduct a complete nutrition assessment are met, that WIC risk eligibility is determined and to start a dialogue with the participant about what she or he wants and needs related to nutrition and health.
Circle ChartsCircle charts are a tool that can be used to guide nutrition education. They display several health-related topics relevant to specific client categories. Each circle includes a photograph representing a topic which the client can choose from to focus their dialogue. The content on the back of each circle chart includes suggestions for opening and closing questions, relevant facts, handouts, and other tips or reminders.
