American Time Use Survey (ATUS) Data Dictionary: 2006 Eating and Health Module Data (Variables collected in ATUS Eating and Health Module)

摘要

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service and National Institutes of Health's National Cancer Institute sponsored the 2006 Eating and Health (EH) Module of the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). The ATUS is sponsored by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. The purpose of this document is to provide information about the variables available on the three 2006 ATUS EH Module public use data files: the EH Respondent file, the EH Activity file, and the EH Child file. These files contain information gathered through the 2006 ATUS interviews. All EH Module questions were asked at the end of the ATUS interview. This data dictionary lists all the variables available on the EH files and their valid values. It also provides directions on how to read the data dictionary. Two other data dictionaries describe the basic ATUS public use data files. The first describes the 2006 ATUS-CPS file, which contains data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) public use files for those selected to be surveyed for ATUS and members of their households (the information on the ATUS-CPS file was collected two to five months before the ATUS interview and may have been out of date at the time of the ATUS survey). The second is the 2006 ATUS interview data dictionary which describes the variables available on four files: the Roster file, the Activity file, the Who file, and the Respondent file. These variables were collected and assigned in the ATUS interview.
