work flow Literature Review SWOT-Analysis of new technologies feasibility reports on dietary assessment state of the art evaluation preliminary SOP´s for innovative methods pilot studies final SOP´s for innovative methods assessing diet in epidemiological studies
time schedule R = report L = leaflet WS = workshop
progress state of the art report Evaluation of literature of (1) traditional dietary assessment methods (2) new dietary assessment methods specific analysis on feasibility (participation rates,time burden required, cost assessment, etc.) selection of new methodologies for pilot study (statistical methods and instruments)
ideas in dietary assessment web-based automated FFQ´s self-administered, automated, web-based 24-hour dietary recalls real time data collection of food records voice recognition software combining methods FFQ with 24-hour recalls
web-based FFQ Quelle:http://192.168.111.125:3020/ffq/portal/de
advantages beyond paper and pencil web-based FFQ advantages beyond paper and pencil cleaner data may take less time to complete disadvantages beyond paper and pencil still FFQ computer access and related technology issues feasibility research in IDAMES: Pilot studies in 6 centres
study design of pilot testing in preparation: pilot study study design of pilot testing in preparation: combining assessment instruments new statistical methods to estimate individuals usual dietary intake over past year experiences for historically new period of research
