Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Food Reporting Comparison
Study (FORCS) and Food and Eating Assessment Study (FEAST) (NCI)
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), 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: Food Reporting Comparison Study (FORCS)
and Food and Eating Assessment Study (FEAST) (NCI). Type of Information
Collection Request: Extension. Need and Use of Information Collection:
The title of this collection was previously, ``24-hour Dietary Recall
Method Comparison and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Observational
Feeding Studies.'' The objective of the two studies is to compare the
performance of the newly developed computerized Automated Self-
Administered 24-Hour Recall (ASA24) approach to collecting 24 hour
recall (24HR) data with the current standard, the interviewer-
administered Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM). The ultimate goal
is to determine to what extent the new automated instrument can be used
instead of the more expensive interviewer-administered instrument in
the collection of dietary intake data. Frequency of Response: Twice.
Affected Public: Individuals. Type of Respondents: For the FORCS study,
approximately 1,200 adult members from three health maintenance
organization plans (in Minnesota, California, and Michigan) between
ages 20 and 70 years. For the FEAST study, approximately 90 adult
residents from the Washington, DC metropolitan area between ages 20 and
70 years. The annual reporting burden is estimated at 866 hours (see
table below). This amounts to an estimated 2,598 burden hours over the
3-year data collection period with a total cost to the respondents of
$54,293. There are no Capital costs, Operating costs, and/or
Maintenance Costs to report.
