The Dietary Assessment Team focuses on the innovation and advancement of methodology to assess dietary intake through the development of novel techniques for dietary assessment, enhancements to food composition databases and provision of expert guidance. We specialise in the use of diet diaries for use in national surveys and cohorts and dietary intervention studies. This work underpins many of our research projects and is a vital source of evidence for broader diet and population health policy.
