TL;DR
Quality-control procedures developed for a computerized diet history questionnaire developed for the Coronary Artery Risk Factor Development in Young Adult (CARDIA) study are applicable to other dietary assessment methods.
Abstract
The CARDIA diet history was computerized for use in epidemiologic studies of the association between diet and disease. Review of the audiotapes of the interviews showed that most errors made in obtaining a dietary assessment were not detectable from visual review of the data. Although the quality-control procedures were developed for a computerized diet history questionnaire, they are applicable to other dietary assessment methods.

Baseline nutrient analyses from the CARDIA dietary history provided estimates that agreed reasonably well with expected caloric intake for body mass index according to the age- and sex-specific Recommended Dietary Allowances, but were higher than those reported from 24-hour recalls for comparable age, sex, and race groups in the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

The results suggest that the CARDIA dietary history is a reasonably reliable and valid dietary survey method for obtaining information about habitual intakes in whites and in blacks, the results are less consistent.

A computer-based dietary counseling system was tested by sixty-four volunteers and most of the patients seemed to benefit from their interaction with the computer, and the two participating nutritionists frequently found that the program was useful as an antecedent to their own one-to-one sessions with the patients.
