Detailed Objective: The objective of this study is to improve and expand the understanding of effects
that U.S. Department of Agriculture's food and nutrition assistance programs have
on food consumption, nutrient availability and intakes, dietary quality, nutritional
status, and health outcomes. This study will produce a document which the USDA
can use to: (1) answer questions concerning the diet, nutrition, and health impacts
of USDA food and nutrition assistance programs; and (2) assess the state of scientific
knowledge regarding the diet, nutrition, and health impacts of USDA food and nutrition
assistance programs. A contract was awarded to Abt Associates, Inc., for $526,358.
The project was amended for $209,090 in fiscal 2000. Additional funding of $62,932 was provided in fiscal 2002 to expand tabular analysis to include distributions of usual intakes. The expected completion date is September 2003. |
