WIC Reports and Data
WIC provides data, reports, maps, and fact sheets on many topics. In general, WIC will maintain at least 3 years of data on our website. For WIC local agency staff, previous years can be found in the appropriate ANNUAL REPORTS folder in Infoview. Other pre-defined reports are also available in the Information System (HuBERT).
For all WIC partners, if you can't find the data you're looking for, see Requesting WIC Data below.
Coordinating with MDH WIC on Local Agency Studies
WIC studies can find their way into media and can be presented as if everything in the study is true regardless of the quality of the study. Therefore, for any WIC study and/or if approached by others who plan to do a study involving WIC, please contact your state consultant. Provide a short description as you begin planning it, so we are aware of current studies.

Alone or In Combination (AOIC) with Other Races
-
-
The concept race "alone or in combination" includes people who reported a single race alone (e.g., Asian) and people who reported that race in combination with one or more of the other major race groups (e.g., White, Black or African American, American Indian and Alaska Native).
The concept "race alone or in combination," therefore, represents the maximum number of people who reported as that race group, either alone or in combination with one or more additional race(s). The sum of the individual race "alone-or-in-combination" categories may add to more than the total population because people who reported more than one race were tallied in each race category. Locations with larger numbers of individuals choosing the "multiple races category", will find a more complete description of their population in the AOIC reports.
