2003 CalCHEEPS Data Tables

The 2003 California Children’s Healthy Eating and Exercise Practices Survey (CalCHEEPS) data tables provide detailed information about California children’s fruit and vegetable consumption, physical and sedentary activity, high calorie, low nutrient food consumption, knowledge and awareness of the California Children’s 5 a Day—Power Play! Campaign, and factors that influence these behaviors including out-of-home eating, school environment, poverty status, and weight status. For more information regarding the CalCHEEPS data tables, contact Angie Jo Keihner, MS at Angie.Keihner@cdph.ca.gov.

Changes in question wording between survey years (e.g., from 2001 to 2003) are indicated with red font at the top of each data table. Red font and strikethrough are used to show deleted words. Red font alone designates added words.
