Answer to Question 2

The NNMRRP takes a multidisciplinary approach to monitoring the nutritional and health status of Americans in general and of high-risk groups, such as low-income families, pregnant women, and minorities. The USDA and DHHS work together to implement and coordinate the activities. The NNMRRP includes all data collection and analysis activities of the federal government related to (1) measuring the health and nutritional status, food consumption, dietary knowledge, and attitudes about diet and health of the U.S. population; and (2) measuring food consumption and the quality of the food supply.
The goals of the NNMRRP include the following:
a . Provide the scientific foundation for the maintenance and improvement of the nutritional status of the U.S. population and the nutritional quality and healthfulness of the national food supply.
b. Collect, analyze, and disseminate timely data on the nutritional and dietary status of the U.S. population, the nutritional quality of the food supply, food consumption patterns, and consumer knowledge and attitudes concerning nutrition.
c. Identify high-risk groups and geographical areas, as well as nutrition-related problems and trends, to facilitate prompt implementation of nutrition intervention activities.
d. Establish national baseline data and develop and improve uniform standards, methods, criteria, policies, and procedures for nutrition monitoring.
e. Provide data for evaluating the implications of changes in agricultural policy related to food production, processing, and distribution that may affect the nutritional quality and healthfulness of the U.S. food supply.
