The aim of this course is to obtain a deeper understanding of dietary assessment as a field of study. The goal is also to develop the ability to identify problems and choose methods based on purpose and how the problem is formulated. Dietary assessment methodology includes reviews of research methods, especially methods aiming at measuring dietary intake. An important part of the course deals with measurement errors, validity and reliability problems.
