Testing and adapting dietary habits and food security questions for a national nutrition survey using cognitive interviews and expert consultation
The cognitive testing findings and expert input led to the refinement and potential improvement of selected questions for inclusion in a national nutrition survey. Changes included simplified terminology, clearer instructions, improved examples and better question order. Our methodological approach and findings may be valuable for those designing similar questions for dietary surveys.
