Adherence
The PrimeScreen dietary assessment tool provides adequate reproducibility and validity for screening adult diets in primary care settings, performing comparably to longer, more time-consuming instruments.
Use the PrimeScreen tool to quickly assess your patients' diet quality. It takes only 5-10 minutes and provides reliable data on fruit, vegetable, and nutrient intake, comparable to much longer questionnaires. This makes it feasible to integrate dietary screening into routine primary care visits without overwhelming patients or providers.
A quick way to assess quality of diet among adults, PrimeScreen has adequate reproducibility and its results compare well with a longer food frequency questionnaire and biomarkers.
Why this rating
The study uses a robust design with 160 subjects, comparing against a gold-standard SFFQ and biomarkers, with high reproducibility correlations.
