Nutrition Surveillance
The Office of Nutrition Services participates in two Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) projects related to nutrition
surveillance. These projects are the Pregnancy Nutrition Surveillance
System (PNSS) and Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System (PedNSS). In
West Virginia, all information in these surveillance systems is collected
via the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and
Children (WIC).
These two surveillance systems:
