The 2014-16 Eating & Health Module (EH Module), a supplement to the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), asked respondents about secondary eating—that is, eating while doing another activity; soft drink consumption; grocery shopping preferences and fast food purchases; meal preparation and food safety practices; food assistance participation; general health, height and weight, and exercise; and income. Understanding time use patterns can provide insight into economic behaviors associated with eating patterns as well as the diet and health status of individuals.
