Morland's research was conducted over a 6 month span in 2003. Telephone surveys were used to call random telephone numbers in the phonebook in the states of North Carolina and Mississippi. These telephone surveys asked the recipients for their address, gender, height and body weight. The height and body weight was used to calculate for obesity. This study is especially useful to my research because it analyzes the addresses of the survey recipients and compares them to the concentration of fast food restaurants in that area. The important information I could use is that the more concentrated the fast food restaurants were, the more obesity was found within that area.
The study was made to determine what sociodemographic components affect food panel label use. It is targeted at adults and was found that more women with higher incomes are more likely to use the food panel. It was determined that the labels were used to maintain a healthy body weight based upon the information on the label. The survey was random across 50 states and the District of Columbia.
