The Health Department is offering a grant aimed at improving the assessment of diet and physical activity, crucial factors in preventing chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease, as well as in managing weight. The grant focuses on developing better methods for measuring dietary intake and physical activity over time, given the limitations of self-report instruments. Researchers are encouraged to address the cognitive challenges and potential errors associated with current assessment tools, to better understand population subgroups and respondent characteristics. Deadline for applications is May 07, 2009.

| Description: | Diet and physical activity are lifestyle and behavioral factors that play a role in the etiology and prevention of many chronic diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease. Both also play roles in preventing overweight/obesity and in maintaining weight loss. Therefore, diet and physical activity are assessed for both surveillance and epidemiologic/clinical research purposes. The measurement of usual dietary intake or physical activity over varying time periods or in the past, by necessity, has relied on self-report instruments. Such subjective reporting instruments are cognitively difficult for respondents, and are prone to considerable measurement errors that may vary among population subgroups and depend on the time frame considered and the characteristics of the respondents. |
