Description
For sample adults, READNUTRIT indicates how often the respondent reads the nutritional information about calories, fat, and cholesterol sometimes listed on the label when buying a food for the first time.
READNUTRIT was first introduced as part of a 1991 supplement on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. It was later included in a set of variables used to obtain baseline data on weight control and nutrition for the "Year 2000 Objectives".
