The purpose of the NIH and American
Association of Retired Persons (AARP) iCLIC Study is to evaluate
the feasibility of using newly developed computerized
questionnaires to better assess dietary intake, physical activity,
lifestyle and behavioral factors, and self-reported health
conditions in a population of early-to-late-middle-aged men and
women who are also members of the AARP. A total of 15,000 live,
eligible participants will be asked to complete the NIH-AARP
Comprehensive Lifestyle Interview by Computer (CLIC) Study. This
feasibility study will utilize recent developments in computer
technology to build upon the success of the current NIH-AARP Diet
and Health Study [OMB#s 0925-0423 and 0925-0587], which is a
prospective cohort study of diet and cancer that began in 1995.
Information gathered as part of the NIH-AARP CLIC study, such as
eligibility, response, and completion rates, as well as range of
dietary intake, will be used for developing computerized
questionnaire studies in larger cohorts.
