Validation of an Automated Wearable Camera-Based Image-Assisted Recall Method and the 24-h Recall Method for Assessing Women's Time Allocation in a Nutritionally Vulnerable Population: The Case of Rural Uganda.

ABSTRACT: Accurate data are essential for investigating relationships between maternal time-use patterns and nutritional outcomes. The 24 h recall (24HR) has traditionally been used to collect time-use data, however, automated wearable cameras (AWCs) with an image-assisted recall (IAR) may reduce recall bias. This study aimed to evaluate their concurrent criterion validity for assessing women's time use in rural Eastern Ugandan. Women's (n = 211) time allocations estimated via the AWC-IAR and 24HR methods were compared with direct observation (criterion method) using the Bland-Altman limits of agreement (LOA) method of analysis and Cronbach's coefficient alpha (time allocation) or Cohen's κ (concurrent activities). Systematic bias varied from 1 min (domestic chores) to 226 min (caregiving) fo
