Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Diet Quality of Household Food Purchases2 weeksDiet quality was quantified by applying the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) scoring criteria (https://epi.grants.cancer.gov/hei/) to the nutrient and food group data of purchased foods and beverages. The HEI-2015 scores adherence to the Department of Health and Human Services' 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Adherence to recommended intakes for 13 key dietary components is scored on continuous scale for each component, and the 13 component scores are then summed to obtain a total score ranging from 0-100. Higher scores reflect closer adherence to the dietary guidelines.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Diet Quality of Dietary Intake2 weeksDiet quality was quantified by applying the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) scoring criteria (https://epi.grants.cancer.gov/hei/) to the nutrient and food group data derived from three 24-hour diet recalls. The HEI-2015 scores adherence to the Department of Health and Human Services' 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Adherence to recommended intakes for 13 key dietary components is scored on continuous scale for each component, and the 13 component scores are then summed to obtain a total score ranging from 0-100. Higher scores reflect closer adherence to the dietary guidelines.
Home Food Environment2 weeksAvailability of obesity promoting foods in the home, assessed with an audit-based inventory. The audit captures the presence of 71 obesity promoting foods. The sum of these items ranges from 0-71, with higher scores reflecting greater availability in the home.
Percentage of Total Energy Purchased From Non-store Sources (e.g., Fast Food and Take-out/Delivery, Restaurants)2 weeksPercentage of total energy (kcal) purchased from all sources other than food stores/supermarkets, including fast food and take-out/delivery, full-service restaurants, vending machines, bars/taverns, and cafeterias.
