This review serves as the basis to define gaps and needs in individual food consumption surveys worldwide and assists in defining priorities for resource allocation. It also helps frame research opportunities for investigating diet-disease relationships and for planning and evaluating the effect of diet-related policies and nutrition recommendations, such as food-based dietary guidelines.
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.
