Development and Formative Evaluation of a Bilingual Interactive Multimedia Dietary Assessment Tool.

A bilingual interactive multimedia dietary recall was developed for use in the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program. This recall was evaluated by nutrition professionals to determine effectiveness of the introduction, food groupings, graphics, audio, and program flow. Users first report food choices from 167 graphically represented foods. Then, food variety, cooking techniques, and portion sizes are displayed. Last, users can add and delete foods. A nutrient profile comprised of 20 dietary constituents is generated. This recall provides potential for stimulating food recall with audio and visual cues, promoting more honest reports of food intake and saving staff time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
