Coded 24-h dietary recalls received at FSRG for
data processing undergo four quality assurance steps
as the food intake data are edited and then analyzed
for their nutritional content. These steps include an
evaluation of the overall acceptability of each 24-h
recall, resolution or confirmation of new or unusual
foods and amounts reported by respondents, administration
of data integrity checks, and verification of 24-h
recalls with extremely high nutrient intakes. Each step is
discussed below.
