Resources required

This method requires many field workers trained in the collection of dietary data. The number of field workers required depends on the number of people being observed in one session.

Practice sessions should always be carried out to ensure that intra-observer reliability is acceptable.

The data obtained requires processing in a similar way to dietary data obtained from diaries or recalls (see data processing section).
