Development and Validation of a Brief Food Noise Questionnaire

Development and Validation of a Brief Food Noise Questionnaire

The purpose of the research is to develop and test the reliability and validity of a brief questionnaire to measure food noise.

Currently and to our knowledge, there are no validated questionnaires to assess food noise. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a brief food noise questionnaire. A total of 400 participants will be asked to complete the new food noise questionnaire. A subsample will also be asked to complete the questionnaire a second time to evaluate test-retest reliability. A separate subsample will also complete additional questionnaires to test convergent and discriminant validity.
