Economic Research Service Title: Generic Clearance to Conduct Formative Research for the Development of Dietary Behavior Evaluation Measures. OMB Control Number: 0536–NEW. Summary of Collection: The Economic Research Service (ERS) of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) has a requirement to conduct formative research to develop measures of dietary behavior associated with dietary quality that will be widely usable with the general public and with low-income and food assistance recipient populations across the United States. Nutrition has been shown to have important effects on obesity, child development, learning, lifelong health, and productivity. Poor food behaviors have been linked to four leading causes of death, reduced quality of life, increased cost of living, and premature death. While these foodrelated problems affect many Americans, there is a lack of reliable, valid questionnaires or other short, practical population measures to assess such import information as: nutritionand-food-related knowledge, attitude, and behaviors; food assistance program participation and its determinants; and program satisfaction. Development of new questionnaires and related measures and assessment of their reliability and validity will require formative research. This formative research will provide information leading to standardized dietary outcome measures that can be used to assess dietary quality of the general public, low-income Americans, and food assistance recipients, and to examine the impact of USDA food assistance programs on the dietary well being of food assistance recipients. Need and Use of the Information: ERS will collect information to develop standardized measures of dietary behavior for practical use in assessing dietary quality among the general public and among low-income population and food assistance recipient population across the United States, its change over time or with exposure to food assistance and nutrition information programs. If this information is not collected, USDA’s ability to measure the impact of nutrition education efforts will be impaired.
