Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Phase II of a Prospective
Cohort Study of Diet and Cancer in
Members of the American Association
of Retired Persons
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
National Cancer Institute (NCI), the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) will
publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Proposed Collection: Title: Phase II of
A Prospective Cohort Study of Diet and
Cancer in Members of the American
Association of Retired Persons. Type of
Information Collection Request: New.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
The specific objectives of the current
study are to: (1) Examine prospectively
the relation between diet and major
cancers (especially those of the breast,
colorectal, prostate, and non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma; (2) in a series of pilot
studies, evaluate the quality and
completeness of dietary data collected
from automated web-based dietary
assessment instruments, individually
and collectively, in a large cohort, and;
(3) in a calibration substudy, compare
energy expenditure (measured by
doubly labeled water) and protein and
potassium intakes (measured by 24-hour
urinary nitrogen and potassium
excretion) with intakes of energy,
protein, and potassium as reported on
web-based, automated 24-Hour Dietary
Record (24HR), an automated Diet
History Questionnaire (DHQ), and an
automated DHQ adjusted by automated
7-Day Food Lists (7DFLs) to assess
measurement error structure in the
instruments.
The proposed study will build on the
existing Prospective Study of Diet and
Cancer in members of the American
Association of Retired Persons by
updating exposure information in the
existing cohort and allowing for
continued tracking and follow-up; (2)
expanding the cohort by recruiting
additional participants and surveying
their diet and other exposures. In
addition to the 566,403 persons from the
original cohort, a new cohort of 2.5
million 50–59 year olds from the same
states as the original AARP cohort, and
4 million 50–69 year olds from 8 new
states will be contacted as part of the
recruitment and data collection effort.
Phase II will apply the latest technology
to use web-based data collection
instruments for economical and efficient
assessment of dietary exposures of study
participants. This uniquely designed
cohort study has a capacity greater than
that of any previous study for evaluating
connections between dietary factors and
major cancers.
Frequency of Response: The
frequency of response is dependent on
the instrument and the portion of the
study that the respondent is
participating in (pilot, main study, and/
or calibration substudy), as described in
the table below. Affected Public:
Individuals. Type of Respondents: U.S.
adults (person ages 50–85).
The annual reporting burden is as
