“…Food Behavior Checklist questions regarding FV intake were reliable among children (aged 8-9 years) but were not tested for agreement with a reference measure. 19 The DILQ and FVQ are practical assessment tools because they can be quickly administered to school-aged children in a group setting at low cost; however, analysis of the DILQ data may be challenging. Validation of the DILQ is necessary across an entire day and validation of the FVQ is necessary for convergent validity with children.…”

“…The essential concept of these studies is to determine habitual consumption of specific key groups of food/drinks (hereafter referred to as 'food') [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Classifying individuals according to categories of habitual consumption of specific food groups is sufficient for identifying potential nutritional deficiencies [10] and for evaluating the relationship between relative ranking and disease [5,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14], and effectiveness of personalized methods that are implemented to promote changes in dietary patterns with regards to the selected food groups [1,5,[8][9][10]12].…”

Background: One of the greatest challenges for nutritional epidemiology is improving upon traditional self-reporting methods for assessing usual dietary intake. Objective: Evaluating the relative validity of a new method known as the current-day dietary recall (current-day recall), based on a Smartphone app called 12-hour dietary recall (e-12HR), for determining the habitual intake of a series of key food/drink groups using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and four dietary records (DRs) as reference methods. Methods: University students over the age of 18 recorded their consumption of certain groups of food/drink using e-12HR for 28 consecutive days. During this 28-day period, they also completed four DRs on randomly selected days. Once the monitoring period was finished, the subjects then completed a FFQ. A comparison was made between the different methods using the Spearman correlation coefficient (SCC), a cross-classification analysis, and weighted kappa (k). Results: A total of 87 participants completed the study (64% women, 56/87; 36% men, 31/87). e-12HR versus FFQ, for all food/drink groups: The average SCC was .70. Crossclassification analysis showed that the average percentage of individuals classified in the exact agreement category was 51.5%; exact agreement + adjacent was 91.8%; and no participant (0.0%) was classified in the extreme disagreement category. The average k was .51. e-12HR versus the four DRs, for all food/drink groups: The average SCC was .63. Crossclassification analysis showed that the average percentage of individuals classified in the exact agreement category was 47.1%; exact agreement + adjacent was 89.2%; and no participant (0.0%) was classified in the extreme disagreement category. The average k was .47. Conclusions: Current-day recall, based on the e-12HR app, is in good agreement with the two reference methods (FFQ & four DRs), demonstrating its potential usefulness for categorizing individuals according to the usual dietary intake of certain food/drink groups.

Consequently, school-based assessments of children's nutrition and physical activity behaviors are central to understanding SNAP-Ed effectiveness. However, collecting this data can be daunting for states and implementing agencies. On the one hand, schools can provide optimal settings for the evaluation of obesity prevention programs: the audience is captive, class turnover is relatively low, and assessment can be incorporated into curricula. 2,3 Conversely, competing demands on the educational system and lack of top-down support may be powerful barriers to SNAP-Ed programming and evaluation, especially in under-resourced schools. 2,4 A 2013Institute of Medicine workshop offered educator perspectives on nutrition education that highlighted election politics, inadequate funding, lack of teacher training, and severely limited instruction time as persistent obstacles to obesity prevention in schools. 2 In terms of evaluation, measures perceived as intrusive, costly, or overly burdensome are more likely to be challenged
