Brief Diet Quality Assessment Tool - MEASURING TOOL - DEFINITION AND SOURCE

This document is part of the Toolbox for Carrying Out a Food Access Diagnostic and Evaluating the Effects of a Food Cooperative, developed as part of the EffICAS study. More specifically, this measuring tool enables rapid assessment of diet quality. Since healthy eating is an important determinant of health (WHO, 2002), estimating the overall quality of a given population’s diet is of interest, particularly when drawing up a portrait of the situation or evaluating the effects of an intervention.
