title: Louisiana health and nutrition survey.
abstract: The objective of this project was to conduct a survey to estimate the current prevalence of high-risk dietary, occupational, and other lifestyle factors in subgroups of the Louisiana population by age, sex, race, and geographic region. A probability sample of adult Louisiana residents was selected using a 3-stage cluster design identical to that used in the Louisiana Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. The reduced version of the Health Habits and History Questionnaire developed by Block et al at the National Cancer Institute was administered by telephone. The survey results are presented and discussed.
