This Intake publication provides an overview of the various methodologic issues that are relevant to the collection and analysis of dietary data when a key objective of the survey includes estimating the usual intake of nutrients, food groups, and foods for a population or sub-population, and to provide a set of recommendations for how to approach these data collection and analysis challenges in the context of a dietary survey in a low- or middle-income country.
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.
