American Time Use Survey (ATUS) Eating & Health Module Microdata Files

The ATUS Eating & Health (EH) Module was fielded from 2006 to 2008. The EH Module data files for these years contain additional information related to eating, meal preparation and health. This page includes links to the ATUS EH Module microdata files and supporting documentation. Researchers can use the EH microdata files to produce their own estimates or do other analyses. Each ZIP file contains a data file along with computer programs that will read the data file into SAS, SPSS, and Stata. The data files are in CSV-format (comma-separated values).

The microdata files do not contain estimates. Tables showing estimates are available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, a sponsor of the EH Module.
