Food Attitudes and Behavior (FAB) Survey Project
The purpose of the Food Attitudes and Behaviors (FAB) Survey is to evaluate a variety of factors including knowledge of fruits and vegetable (F/V recommendations), psychosocial factors, as well as other variables that may be related to F/V consumption. Conventional constructs included self-efficacy, barriers, social support, and knowledge of recommendations related to FV consumption. Novel constructs included shopping patterns, taste preferences, views on vegetarianism, intrinsic/extrinsic motivation, and environmental food offerings.

Body&Soul
Health Promotion has provided scientific support for program development, including a review of literature and portfolio analysis, and has convened experts in faith-based, community-based research to review the state-of-the-science. Evidence-based research has been used to support dissemination projects in diet and behavior modification and to improve fruit and vegetable consumption in African-American communities. This research has identified feasible nutrition and physical activity interventions, which have successfully been incorporated into the national Body&Soul program. Ongoing efforts through a public-private partnership support the dissemination of Body&Soul nationally. http://www.bodyandsoul.nih.gov.
Decision Making in Eating Behavior
Integrating Perspectives from the Individual, Family, and Environment Meeting Objectives: To discuss the state of research in decision making and examine those areas that can potentially be applied to the field of nutrition, especially in the area of sustaining positive behavior change and to stimulating research interest in this area. Meeting Framework: The meeting is being organized to provide significant audience participation. Each session will include a plenary speaker who will provide an overview of the session topic, followed by presentations by various panelists who will speak on the topic from their unique perspectives. A moderated question and answer session will follow the panelists' presentation to allow full interaction among the speakers.
