This Intake survey planning tool outlines the main activities involved in undertaking a quantitative 24-hour recall dietary survey. This is done using a GANTT template that can be used by survey organizers to plan the timeline for carrying out survey activities. The template has been designed to be especially relevant for large-scale (e.g. national) quantitative 24-hour recall dietary surveys but can be adapted for smaller-scale surveys. The template is not meant to be prescriptive. It is meant to provide a starting point for survey organizers to plan the timeline for the set of activities to be carried out during all phases of survey work (i.e. before, during, and after data collection). The PDF document to describe how to use the GANTT template is available in the preview and download windows. The GANTT template is available here, as an excel file.
Intake’s online resource library has been developed to provide easy access to grey literature and links to peer reviewed journal articles that are relevant to the collection, analysis, and use of dietary data in low- and middle-income countries. The library includes Intake technical reports and briefs, guidance documents, survey planning tools, and videos, as well as access to a curated set of publications and tools authored by others. Users should note that Intake's online resource library is still under development. Once completed, the resource library will be updated periodically.
