Assessment of dietary outcomes in food environment research: A barrier to policy and programs to support healthy eating?
Year: 2012
Type: preprint
Abstract: Results: • Examination of 71 food environment studies that included at least one measure of dietary intake indicates a tendency toward the use of dietary assessment instruments with low cost and respondent burden at the expense of accuracy and precision. − Almost one in three studies made use of a screener and >15% used only 1-2 questions to assess dietary intakes. − About 30% of studies made use of a food frequency questionnaire. − More detailed methods, such as 24-hour recalls or records, were used in about one in five studies.
