It also had questions about how I would respond to education regarding consuming fruits and vegetables among other things. It also asked how often I eat out, caffeine consumption, alcohol consumption, etc. And mine asked specifically about the amount of regular and cardiovascular exercise I get weekly.
Mine had somthing about caffeine and alcohol but none of the other things you mentioned.

I would hope before you put down an entire study, you actually get factual information about the range of the study and its intent.
I went to every USF health lecture because I was enthusiastic about the project and wanted to be as informed as I could be. I even took the time to be in one of the focus groups. You can be sure I will call or visit the USF office on monday to find out if there were different versions sent out. If I can I might try to find the questions online. (I don't have the the web address with me at this time.)
