Assessing dietary diversity in pregnant women: Relative validity of the list-based and open recall methods

Background: The Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MMD-W) was validated as a proxy of micronutrient adequacy for non-pregnant women, with proposed data collection being either a list-based or a qualitative open recall method. Few studies have compared the performance of these two methods. Objectiv...

Summary:Background: The Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MMD-W) was validated as a proxy of micronutrient adequacy for non-pregnant women, with proposed data collection being either a list-based or a qualitative open recall method. Few studies have compared the performance of these two methods. Objectives: We compared performance in predicting micronutrient adequacy of food group indicators (FGIs) measured by the list-based and the quantitative open recall method using varying quantity cutoffs. We also examined the agreement between list-based and open recall FGIs.
