Abstract
We obtained minimum stocking requirements for 50 states and the District of Columbia in 2017 from WIC Web pages or e-mail from the state WIC agency. We developed a coding protocol to compare minimum quantities and varieties required for 12 food and beverage categories and published the results in the American Journal of Public Health (2017). We are making the extracted text, coding protocol, and coded values of the state requirements available here as a resource to other researchers and practitioners.
Description
In the 24 states that established different requirements based on store size, type, or location (e.g., number of cash registers, rural vs urban), the lowest requirement was coded. When a state’s requirement included separate components with multiple units of measurement (e.g., a minimum dollar value and minimum number of items) or a single component that could be expressed in multiple units (e.g., five 16-oz packages), we coded the requirement under both measures. We calculated the median, range, and interquartile range of each measure across all states. We included in the data record both a comma separated values file and an Excel file for readability and formatting purposes.
