Duplicate diet approach | Food consumption record | 24-Hour dietary recall | Dietary record | Dietary history | Food frequency questionnaire | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Methods | Collection of duplicate diet sample and direct analysis | Objective observation by trained staff at the household level | Subjective measure using open-ended questionnaires administered by a trained interviewer | Subjective measure using open-ended, self-administered questionnaires | Subjective measures using open- and closed-ended questionnaires administered by a trained interviewer | Subjective measure using a predefined, self- or interviewer-administered format |
Collected date | Actual intake information throughout a specific period | Actual intake information throughout a specific period | Actual intake information over the previous 24 hours | Actual intake information throughout a specific period | Usual intake estimates over a relatively long period | Usual intake estimates over a relatively long period (e.g., 6 months or 1 year) |
Strengths | Measurement of dietary exposures possible (e.g., envi ronmental contaminants) | Ease of application among those with low literacy or those who prepare most meals at home | Provides detailed intake data; relatively small respondent burden (literacy not required) | Provides detailed intake data; no interviewer required; no recall bias | Assesses usual dietary intake | Assesses usual dietary intake simply; cost-effective and time-saving; suitable for epidemiological studies |
Limitations | Not suitable for large-scale studies | Individual dietary consumption not accurate; Not suitable among those frequently eat outside the home | Possible recall bias; trained interviewer required; possible interviewer bias; expensive and time-consuming; multiple days required to assess usual intake; possible changes to diet if repeated measures | Relatively large respondent burden (literacy and high motivation required, possible under-reporting); expensive and time-consuming; multiple days required to assess usual intake; possible changes to diet if repeated measures | High cost and time-consuming; not suitable for epidemiological studies | Specific to study groups and research aims; uses a closed-ended questionnaire; low accuracy (recall bias); requires accurate evaluation of developed questionnaires |
24-hour dietary recall | Dietary record | Food frequency questionnaire | |
---|---|---|---|
Required technology | Software, internet, etc. | Software, internet, PDA, mobile phone, application, etc. | Skip algorithms, questions that ask for multiple details, pictures of foods, etc. |
Strengths | Standardized data collection possible (reducing interviewer bias); likely reduce time and cost; improve feasibility | Standardized, real-time data collection possible; likely reduce time and cost; improve feasibility | Able to collect complex information and highly accurate data |
Limitations | Inherent bias related to self-report | Inherent bias related to self-report; requires participant training on how to use the technology | Measurement errors related to methodology remain |
