Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 25 individuals, with sample size determined a priori.

Both clinicians and WIC nutritionists reported educating families about healthy drink choices, and parents recalled similar messages during these conversations. Parents were very supportive of fruit juice as part of the WIC package, with near universal opposition among clinicians. Many parents expressed concerns about tap water. Both provider groups perceived difficulty in reaching out to each other, and felt more communication would be helpful.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions for Practice<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Our findings highlight a need for more regular communication between WIC nutritionists and children\u2019s healthcare providers within our system, and more consistent parental education on juice and tap water safety.
