Abstract
The poster compares two assessment methods, list-based and hybrid recall, for estimating diet quality indicators in children aged 6-23 months in Cambodia. The study found that both methods were equivalent to in-home observation for estimating minimum dietary diversity and were able to estimate food group consumption with high sensitivity and specificity. The findings suggest that both proxy methods are suitable for determining minimum dietary diversity with high sensitivity and specificity compared to in-home observation.
