One collection, entitled ‘‘Health and
Diet Survey—General Topics,’’ tracks a
broad range of consumer attitudes,
awareness, knowledge, and self-reported
behaviors related to key diet and health
issues. The other collection, entitled
‘‘Health and Diet Survey—Dietary
Guidelines Supplement,’’ will provide
FDA with updated information about
consumer attitudes, awareness,
knowledge, and behavior regarding
various elements of nutrition and
physical activity based on the key
recommendations of the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, which are
jointly issued by the Department of
Health and Human Services and
Department of Agriculture every 5 years.
The information to be collected with
the Health and Diet Survey—General
Topics will include: (1) Awareness of
diet-disease relationships; (2) food and
dietary supplement label use; (3) dietary
practices including strategies to lose or
maintain weight; and (4) awareness and
knowledge of dietary fats. The
information to be collected with the
Health and Diet Survey—Dietary
Guidelines Supplement will include: (1)
Opinions about the nutrition
information provided by the
government; (2) awareness and
familiarity with government nutrition
programs and publications such as the
Food Guide Pyramid and the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans; (3)
knowledge of the relationships between
food choices, exercise habits, weight
loss, and health; (4) choices surrounding
exercise, calorie intake, saturated and
trans fats, fruits and vegetables, whole
grains, dairy, fish, meat, cholesterol,
carbohydrates, salt, and sugar. The
survey will also ask about use of Federal
nutrition information, special diet,
weight status, health status, and
demographics.
FDA and other Federal agencies will
use the information from the Health and
Diet Survey to evaluate and develop
strategies and programs to encourage
and help consumers adopt healthy
lifestyles. The information will also
help FDA and other Federal agencies
evaluate and track consumer awareness
and behavior as outcome measures of
their achievement in improving public
health.
Description of Respondents: The
respondents are adults, age 18 and
older, drawn from the 50 states and the
District of Columbia. Participation will
be voluntary.
In the Federal Register of May 25,
2007 (72 FR 29332), FDA published a
60-day notice requesting public
comment on the information collection
provisions. No comments were received.

are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
FDA has based its estimate of the
number of respondents and the burden
hours per response on its experience
with the Health and Diet Survey over
the past 3 years. The agency will use a
screener to select an eligible adult
respondent in each household to
participate in the survey. For the Health
and Diet Survey—General Topics data
collection activity a total of 3,000 adults
in the 50 states and the District of
Columbia will be interviewed by
telephone. We estimate that it will take
a respondent 1.2 minutes (0.02 hours) to
complete the screening questions and 15
minutes (0.25 hours) to complete the
entire survey. Prior to the
administration of the survey, the agency
plans to conduct a pretest to identify
and resolve potential problems. The
pretest will be conducted with 27
participants; we estimate that it will
take a respondent 15 minutes (0.25
hours) to complete the pretest. For the
