Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Daily saturated fat intake in grams and energy percentage 2. Daily energy intake in kcal 3. Daily vegetable intake in grams 4. Daily fruit intake in portions These outcomes are all measured by means of 24-hour recall telephone interviews by trained interviewers at three points in time: baseline before program implementation, posttest within a month after program implementation and at follow-up six months after program implementation. At each time point three recalls are collected (two measurements on a week day and one measurement on a weekend day). For each measurement data is collected on one weekend day and two week days. The estimated total enrollment period is 21 months. The phone calls take place in the evening and the participants do not know on which days they will be called. They are questioned about the foods and drinks they have taken during the day, yesterday’s hot meal as well as foods and drinks consumed yesterday evening.	—
