Survey of Health Care Professionals on
the Food Safety and Nutrition
Information that they Provide to
Pregnant Women
Under section 903(b)(2) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
393(b)(2)), FDA is authorized to conduct
research relating to foods and to
conduct educational and public
information programs relating to the
safety of the nation’s food supply. FDA
is planning to conduct a survey of
health care professionals to determine
what information, advice, and
recommendations they are offering to
pregnant women about the following
topics: (1) Methyl mercury and seafood
consumption; (2) Listeriosis prevention;
provide timely recommendations to
health care professionals that will reach
the largest audience.
A sample of 400 obstetrician/
gynecologists, 200 nurse practitioners,
200 nurse midwives, 200 physician
assistants, and 200 dietitians from the
Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Women, Infants, and
Children (WIC) will be included in this
survey. The sample of nurse
practitioners, nurse midwives, and
physician assistants will be drawn from
those specializing in obstetrics. The
samples will be randomly selected from
lists obtained from national
associations. The survey will be
conducted using a mailed questionnaire.
Cognitive interviews and a pretest will
be conducted prior to fielding the
survey.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:
(3) weight control and nutrition; (4)
dietary supplement usage; (5) food
allergies; (6) Toxoplasmosis prevention;
and (7) infant feeding practices. FDA is
interested in obtaining this data since
FDA has recently issued advice for
pregnant women about food safety risks
and diet risks such as mercury in
seafood, Listeriosis, and Toxoplamosis.
(‘‘Food Safety for Moms-to-Be’’, 2005
and ‘‘What You Need to Know about
Mercury in Fish and Shellfish’’, 2004).
Data from this survey will be used to
evaluate whether health care
professionals are aware of this advice
and if they are educating their patients
about information in the FDA
advisories.
FDA will also use this survey to get
a better understanding of what resources
health care professionals use to stay
abreast of current practices for caring for
pregnant women. This will help FDA
