Brief Diet Screener for Assessing Adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Diet: Development and Validation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although poor diet quality is a main risk factor for cardiovascular disease, it is rarely measured comprehensively in clinical trials using full dietary assessment tools.

Objectives

This study developed a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet screener using questions from the Stenting vs. Aggressive Medical Management for Preventing Recurrent Stroke in Intracranial Stenosis trial (SAMMPRIS) and assessed construct validity in 3 2-y cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2009-2014).

Methods
