Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcomes are food literacy (indicator of food-related skills and knowledge) This outcome measures the effect of the intervention on eating behavior in the broadest possible way (nutrition knowledge, skills and behaviour). For a long-term behavioral change it is important that there is an improvement in knowledge, skills and behaviors needed to eat healthy (and not on actual food intake alone). This shows whether people are actually better able to eat healthier after the intervention in the context of their daily life. A higher degree of food literacy has been associated with a healthier food intake in both the general population and group of patients. | — |
