American Time Use Survey
The American Time Use Survey (ATUS),
conducted by the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, is designed
to collect information on how Americans spend their time on work, household
chores, child care, recreation and other activities. The Applied Research
Program (ARP) has provided funds to the US Department of Agriculture, Economic
Research Service (USDA, ERS) to support the Eating and Health Module of the ATUS.
The Eating and Health Module includes questions concerning height, weight,
incidental eating, other eating and health related questions. NCI staff members
are analyzing time use data to explore the social and environmental context of
physical activity and relationships between body mass index and time use
variables.
