| Description: | Finds that Medicaid-enrolled children participating in the WIC program had greater use of all types of health care services, compared with Medicaid-enrolled children who were not WIC participants. Notes that children enrolled in Medicaid who participate in WIC are linked to the health care system and are much more likely to receive both preventive and curative care, compared with their counterparts who do not participate. |
