Food Frequency Questionnaire-Screening Form (FFQ)ΒΆ
The Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) is a screening tool designed to assess children's intake by food group, with outcomes measured in number of servings. The focus of these tools is on intake of fruit and fruit juices, vegetables, potatoes (including French fries), whole grains, meat/poultry/fish, dairy, legumes, saturated fat, "added sugars" (in sweetened cereals, soft drinks, and sweets), glycemic load and glycemic index. A secondary analysis produces estimates for intake of sugary beverages (both kcal and frequency). Individual portion sizes are asked.
