Integrating ASA24 Into a Data-Driven Nutrition Education Intervention in Community Health Center Clinics

To assess Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour (ASA24) completion rates and study staff assistance provided in our data-driven nutrition education intervention in community health center clinics.

Compare sociodemographic characteristics of participants who were and were not able to complete ASA24 independently with t tests and chi-square tests (goodness of fit). Describe participant recall attempts and staff assistance provided.

Of 66 consented participants, 58 (88%) completed ASA24, with 61% completing independently. Fewer older adults completed ASA24 independently (mean ± SD, 45.7 ± 11.5 vs 52.3 ± 8.8 years, nonsignificant). We identified 5 types of staff assistance with varying amounts of staff time required.

We found no statistically significant differences in sociodemographic factors between participants who were and were not able to complete ASA24 independently. We attribute our participants' success to a training video, single sign-on, and on-demand staff assistance. Findings indicate potential for using ASA24 with technological supports and targeted assistance to collect diet data in clinics.
