“…It relies on well-trained and skilled enumerators, but errors introduced through recall and social desirability biases often compromise the quality of the data [15]. Similar to previous studies, we found that electronic data collection improves the quality of dietary data because standardized probes built into the application guide interviewers and ensure probes are not missed [4,5,7]. However, no studies have reported findings from the use of tablet-based dietary data collection in a longitudinal study, which is one of the strengths of our study.…”

“…Few studies describe tablet-based dietary data collection. A recent study from Nepal recommended recording within the application of a quick food list [4]. We included the quick food list as the first pass according to the multi-pass approach, and we displayed this list on the screen, which reminded the enumerator to check whether there was any missing food before the interview ended.…”

“…Several studies have shown its advantages over paper-based data collection [2,3]. Other studies have shown it is also feasible, in LMICs, to collect dietary data via electronic data capture [4,5]. These applications, however, have not used an iterative process of data entry, which the recommended multiple-pass 24-h diet recall method requires [6].…”

“…These applications, however, have not used an iterative process of data entry, which the recommended multiple-pass 24-h diet recall method requires [6]. Unlike structured questionnaires or single-pass data entry [4,5,7], direct entry of a multiple-pass 24-h dietary recall is a complex process that requires special data capture features [6]. There is computer-based software (GloboDiet) with the required features for collecting multiple-pass 24-h dietary recall data in Asia [8].…”

The Use of Tablet-Based Multiple-Pass 24-Hour Dietary Recall Application (MP24Diet) to Collect Dietary Intake of Children under Two Years Old in the Prospective Cohort Study in Indonesia

Dietary intake data are crucial for developing or evaluating nutrition interventions to improve the nutritional status of populations. The collection of accurate and reliable dietary data in developing countries, however, remains challenging. The emergence of new technologies, which facilitate electronic data capture, might address some of these challenges. This paper aims to describe an application developed to collect a multiple-pass 24-h dietary recall, using electronic data capture, and compare the results to those estimated using a paper-based method. In this study, a tablet-based application was developed, in the CommCare platform, to evaluate the effectiveness, for improving dietary adequacy, of a package of behavior change interventions to reduce stunting and anemia among 6–23-month-old children in East Java, Indonesia (Baduta project). Dietary intakes of energy and nutrients were estimated using electronic data capture in the cohort study of the Baduta project (n = 680). We compared these results with those estimated using paper-based data capture in the project’s end-line cross-sectional study (n = 2740). We found a higher percentage of children classified as acceptable energy reporters (reported energy intake within the 95% CI of Total Energy Expenditure) with the electronic data capture compared with paper-based data capture (i.e., 60.8%, 72.4% and 80.7% for 6–8-, 9–11- and 12–23-month-old children, respectively, vs. 40.9%, 56.9%, and 54.3%, respectively). The estimated mean energy and nutrient intakes were not significantly different between these dietary data capture methods. These results suggest dietary data collection, using a tablet-based application, is feasible and can improve the quality of dietary data collected in developing countries.

“…Dietary intakes of pregnant women, male household heads, and mothers-in-law were assessed up to 3 times each on nonconsecutive days. The 5-stage “multi-pass” dietary assessment method has been described in detail elsewhere (38–40). Portion sizes were estimated by using an atlas of life-sized photographs that was developed locally and validated before use (41).…”

BackgroundThere is scarce evidence on the impacts of food transfers, cash transfers, or women's groups on food sharing, dietary intakes, or nutrition during pregnancy, when nutritional needs are elevated.ObjectiveThis study measured the effects of 3 pregnancy-focused nutrition interventions on intrahousehold food allocation, dietary adequacy, and maternal nutritional status in Nepal.MethodsInterventions tested in a cluster-randomized controlled trial (ISRCTN 75964374) were “Participatory Learning and Action” (PLA) monthly women's groups, PLA with transfers of 10 kg fortified flour (“Super Cereal”), and PLA plus transfers of 750 Nepalese rupees (∼US$7.5) to pregnant women. Control clusters received usual government services. Primary outcomes were Relative Dietary Energy Adequacy Ratios (RDEARs) between pregnant women and male household heads and pregnant women and their mothers-in-law. Diets were measured by repeated 24-h dietary recalls.ResultsRelative to control, RDEARs between pregnant women and their mothers-in-law were 12% higher in the PLA plus food arm (log-RDEAR coefficient = 0.12; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.21; P = 0.014), but 10% lower in the PLA-only arm between pregnant women and male household heads (−0.11; 95% CI: −0.19, −0.02; P = 0.020). In all interventions, pregnant women's energy intakes did not improve, but odds of pregnant women consuming iron-folate supplements were 2.5–4.6 times higher, odds of pregnant women consuming more animal-source foods than the household head were 1.7–2.4 times higher, and midupper arm circumference was higher relative to control. Dietary diversity was 0.4 food groups higher in the PLA plus cash arm than in the control arm.ConclusionsAll interventions improved maternal diets and nutritional status in pregnancy. PLA women's groups with food transfers increased equity in energy allocation, whereas PLA with cash improved dietary diversity. PLA alone improved diets, but effects were mixed. Scale-up of these interventions in marginalized populations is a policy option, but researchers should find ways to increase adherence to interventions. This trial was registered at www.controlled-trials.com as ISRCTN 75964374.
