Tailored Prompting to Improve Adherence to Image-Based Dietary Assessment: Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Accurately assessing an individual's diet is vital in the management of personal nutrition and in the study of the effect of diet on health. Despite its importance, the tools available for dietary assessment remain either too imprecise, expensive, or burdensome for clinical or research use. Image-based methods offer a potential new tool to improve the reliability and accessibility of dietary assessment. Though promising, image-based methods are sensitive to adherence, as images cannot be captured from meals that have already been consumed. Adherence to image-based methods may be improved with appropriately timed prompting via text message.

Objective

This study aimed to quantitatively examine the effect of prompt timing on adherence to an image-based dietary record
