JC5. Prior to your participating in the National Food Study, we estimated that primary respondents like yourself would spend about 3 hours on the data collection during the past 7 days, plus another hour for each child in the household under 11 years old. This time includes time spent: reading any materials provided to you; participating in the training at the beginning of the week; (IF TELEPHONE MODE: listening to interviewers and answering questions; completing the Profile and Income Questionnaires over the phone); (IF USING SMARTPHONE OR WEB: using the smartphone or web-based system to fill out the Profile and Income Questionnaires, record all food acquisition events and items, including taking and uploading pictures of both receipts and food items;) and any time spent during the week asking questions of the help desk.

We estimate that you yourself spent about [3 + # of young children] hours last week doing all the data collection activities we described. This does not include time spent by other members of the household or time spent on today’s interview. Is this estimate about right, or is it too high or too low?

3. Estimate is too high

JC6. Our sponsor, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, may wish to check with you on these time estimates. Would that be okay with you? We would give them your name and telephone number so they could call you?

1. YES

2. NO

JC7. Your household has earned a total incentive of ${INSERT HOUSEHOLD’S TOTAL INCENTIVE} for participating in the National Food Study. We recognize and appreciate all the effort you have put into recording your food acquisitions and responding to our questions. If we were to invite you back for another study in the next 3 or 4 months, would you be willing to participate again within the next 3 or 4 months?

1. YES

2. NO

This is all I have. Thank you very much!
