FEAST, Food and Eating Assessment Study.
FEAST II participants who completed Automated Self-Administered 24-hour Dietary Assessment Tool (ASA24) recalls in the independent and assisted conditions were pooled into one group. Education information was missing for 2 participants and BMI was missing for 12.
Healthy Eating Index-2015 scores were calculated using the population ratio method.
Standard errors and differences in scores derived from true and reported intake were constructed using a Monte Carlo approach based on macros available from the National Cancer Institute (https://epi.grants.cancer.gov/hei/sas-code.html). T-tests were used to determine if each difference was different from zero.
