Individuals receiving monthly benefits through the U.S. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) often fall short of food at end month and some report feelings hunger. To investigate this situation, we used time diaries from 2006-08 American Time Use Survey Eating & Health Module to identify timing days where respondents reported no eating occurrences. Analysis includes descriptive statistics, a logit model, simulated benefit month. We found that SNAP participants were increasingly...
Abstract This paper uses data on daily activities from the American Time Use Survey and associated Eating & Health Module to analyze relationships between time poverty specific energy‐balance behaviors. The authors estimate a simultaneous model jointly probability of fast food purchase, number eating drinking occurrences, minutes spent engaging in sports exercise, active travel (walking or cycling). Time‐poor individuals were found have different physical activity patterns than...
A model was constructed to test the argument that when topic of parents' relationship is introduced in conversations between parents and 'adolescents, adolescents from divorced families may be especially likely feel caught their due a need for protection (of themselves, parent, relationship), which should make them anxious (i.e., self-reported anxiety) physiologically aroused changes skin conductance levels or SCL).

Objectives Promoting active commuting is viewed as one strategy to increase physical activity and improve the energy balance of more sedentary individuals thereby improving health outcomes. However, potential effectiveness promotion policies may be seriously undermined by endogenous choice commute mode. Policy promote will most effective if it can demonstrated that 1) those in compact cities do not necessarily have a preference for activity, 2) current explained unobserved characteristics...

Meals, snacks, and beverages purchased at fast-food restaurants have become a large growing portion of typical American’s budget, been blamed for expanding waistlines poor diet quality. Previous studies attributed this increase to many factors including budget time constraints, demographic health characteristics market-level forces but no study has able rigorously address the effects all these variables on demand fast foods. This uses 2003-11 American Time Use Survey identify associations...
lects information on how Americans spend a critical resource—their time. According to the 2003 data, employed men worked about an hour more than women average day, and one-third of individuals given weekend day. About 20 percent reported doing housework at home day compared with 55 women. Half all leisure time for both was spent watching TV. The Survey reports work, household chores, child care, recreation, numerous other activities. Estimates from show range detailed activities performed...

Objectives We used linked existing data from the 2006–2008 American Time Use Survey (ATUS), Current Population (CPS, a federal survey that provides on-going U.S. vital statistics, including employment rates) and self-reported body mass index (BMI) to answer: How does BMI vary across full time occupations dichotomized as sedentary/non-sedentary, accounting for spent in sleep, other sedentary behaviors, light, moderate, vigorous intensity activities? Methods classified engaged at primary job...
