The purpose of the NIH and American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) CLIC Study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a developed computerized questionnaires to better assess dietary intake, physical activity, lifestyle and behavioral factors, and self-reported health conditions in a population of early-to-late-middle-aged men and women who are also members of the AARP. A total of 50,000 live, eligible participants will be asked to complete the NIH-AARP Comprehensive Lifestyle Interview by Computer (CLIC) Study. This feasibility study will utilize recent developments in computer technology to build upon the success of the current NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study [OMB#s 0925-0423 and 0925-0587], which is a prospective cohort study of diet and cancer that began in 1995. Information gathered as part of the NIH-AARP CLIC study, such as eligibility, response, and completion rates, as well as range of dietary intake, will be used for developing computerized questionnaire studies in larger cohorts. This is a request for an extension in time to the currently approved #0925-0594 so that additional responses from participants can be collected.
