Nutritional counselling and therapy by qualified nutritionists make a significant contribution to the prevention and therapy of nutrition-related diseases such as diabetes mellitus, obesity or cardiovascular diseases. At the beginning of nutritional counselling or therapy, data is collected on the client's personal eating habits. This requires research-based, standardised survey instruments.
The aim of the study is to study a newly developed academic instrument for nutritional counselling and therapy. The instrument, the so-called Diet Quality Screener (DQScreen), is to be used at the beginning of an advisory service or therapy. The DQScreen is designed to assess how health-promoting a person's nutrition is. Based on this, the nutritionist can then give personalised nutritional recommendations. If it is accurate enough, the DQScreen could replace the currently quite time-consuming methods, such as a dietary protocol, at the start of an advisory service or therapy.
Do you have any questions about the study?
Then please get in touch with Laura Hoffmann (dqscreen@hs-fulda.de)
Study procedure:
- Two survey days approximately 14 days apart, both of which can be completed entirely online.
- Study surveys: Assessment of dietary quality using the digital version of the DQScreen and/or via a face-to-face video conference, as well as completion of short questionnaires on basic background characteristics and user satisfaction.
- Thank you for attendance: an assessment of your personal dietary quality.
