Table 3.
Proportion of adolescents that met the requirements for food recording with digital images, by group.
| Criteriaa | High-Level interventionb (n=21) | Low-Level interventionc (n=21) | P d |
| 1. Correctly placed FMe in the image, n (%) | 9 (43) | 20 (95) | <.001 |
| 2. Only good-quality images for whole report, n (%) | 15 (71) | 20 (95) | .11 |
| 3. Texted food intake accompanied by image with FM, n (%) | 17 (81) | 20 (95) | .15 |
| 4. Complete information for each meal in FRDIf, n (%) | 15 (71) | 20 (95) | .04 |
| 5. Sent “end” message, n (%) | 9 (33) | 8 (38) | .75 |
| Total score for meeting criteria, mean (SD) | 3.4 (1.1) | 4.3 (0.7) | .01 |
aEach criterion met was worth 1 point, except for image quality, where a score of 1 was given if all images in the food record with digital images (FRDI) were of good quality, 0.5 if at least half were of good quality, and 0 if less than half were of good quality.
bHigh-level intervention involved one-on-one, face-to-face training and real-time support during food recording day.
cLow-level intervention involved one-on-one training via telephone with only a follow-up after the food recording day.
dChi-square test for each criterion and Mann-Whitney U test for the total score.
eFM: fiducial marker.
fFRDI: food record with digital images. Information on meal name—breakfast, snack, lunch, or dinner/supper—meal time, and foods and corresponding amounts eaten were included in text messages.
