Comparison of the Kid's Block Food Frequency Questionnaire to the 24-hour recall in urban Native American youth
Article Abstract:
The suitability of the Kid's Block Food Frequency Questionnaire (Kid's Block FFQ) for use in urban Native American youth is assessed by comparing the nutrients measured by it with a 24-hour recall. Marked differences are noted in estimations for the two methods, and it is concluded that the high prevalence of obesity in Native American youth requires more accurate evaluation tools, since the Kid's Block FFQ is found to be less appropriate than the 24-hour recall method.
