This Intake survey guidance describes recommended routines and procedures to test the accuracy and precision of digital dietary scales during all phases of survey work - before first use, during standard recipe data collection, during survey training and piloting, and during data collection (both weekly, and after set-up but before collecting any data during the 24-hour dietary recall interview). Recommended specifications for digital dietary scales for use in quantitative 24-hour dietary recall surveys are provided in a separate Intake survey guidance document, available here.
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.
