The National Food Study will help the USDA improve American households’ access to healthy and affordable food by answering questions about where households get food and how much they pay for food. The addresses we visit are scientifically selected to represent all households in the country. Taking part is completely voluntary and any information that you provide will be kept completely confidential. We will use your information only for statistical purposes and your responses will not have any effect on any services you currently receive or may apply for in the future.

There are no risks for participating, but if you have any questions you can always call the telephone number on the letter. Now I’d like to ask you about the people living in your household, where you usually shop for food, and food programs you may participate in. Some of these questions will help me determine how many of you will need to record food purchases and acquisitions for the study week, and some of the questions will be used by researchers to help them understand how households like yours acquire food. These questions will take about 30 minutes to answer, and you will receive $40 as an incentive at the end of the week for completing this interview and training on how to participate. May I begin?
