Summary

This tool is a semi-quantitative paper based food frequency questionnaire, which uses 19 food groups to assess dietary intake. Using standard portion sizes, the short questionnaire aims to give a brief initial assessment of an individual's intake of total fat and dietary fibre, and to guide the interviewer in providing personalized dietary advice. The tool classifies fat and fibre intakes as 'low', 'medium' or 'high'. The tool takes approximately 5-10 minutes to administer and has been validated in 1994 and in 1999.
