Title: NONAPPLICATION IN THE SCHOOL LUNCH & BREAKFAST PROGRAMS AMONG POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE HOUSEHOLDS & NONPARTICIPATION IN THE SCHOOL LUNCH AND BREAKFAST PROGRAMS AMONG STUDENTS
Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Disapproved	Conclusion Date: 10/13/1992
	Date Received in OIRA: 07/27/1992
Terms of Clearance: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act, OMB has disapproved the Non-Application in the School Lunch and Breakfast Programs Study for the following reasons: The research design fails to meet the Congressional mandate to determine..."why children eligible to participate for free and reduced-price meals do not apply for benefits or participate." The study relies almost exclusively on information from 200 self-selected focus groups which will not produce statistically valid or generalizable information. FNS does not attempt to validate the focus groups results, but plans to produce handbooks based on these so-called findings. Finally, the FNS proposal to remunerate individuals for their participation in the focus groups is not acceptable because it is not based on anticipated "out-of-pocket" expenses, and will only yield a participation rate of "50%. FNS may want to contemplate a scaled-down version of this study, i.e. using around a dozen focus groups to produce preliminary research, on which a valid study design may be based.
