PedNSS and PNSS
The Iowa WIC program has several comprehensive reports available that assess the health and behavioral characteristics of women, infants and children enrolled in the WIC Program. The Pregnancy Nutrition Surveillance System (PNSS) and the Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PedNSS) were originally administered by the CDC to monitor the nutritional status of low-income participants in federally funded maternal and child health programs. In Iowa, data for PNSS and PedNSS is only collected from WIC. WIC uses this information to guide public health policy and action. For more information, contact Iowa HHS for a data-sharing agreement.
