Adhering to Dietary Approaches for Personal Taste (ADAPT) Survey
Quote:
The primary goal of the Adhering to Dietary Approaches for Personal Taste (ADAPT) Survey is to determine the feasibility of conducting future research studies among populations of individuals consuming a variety of popular diets, including Paleo, low-carb, vegetarian, vegan, raw, Mediterranean, gluten-free, low-fat, and others. Our focus on popular dietary patterns is unique and unexplored in other similar cohort studies to date.
We are currently recruiting participants for future research studies who follow any and all dietary patterns with a 15-minute survey—click here to join the ADAPT project and share your dietary information.
Specific Objectives: The target participants for this survey will be recruited from populations who adhere to different diets based on personal taste or purported health benefits. After determining the feasibility of data collection, some initial questions that may be investigated include:- Do people who self-identify as following a particular diet or dietary pattern actually adhere to the principles of this diet? How do the nutrient compositions vary within and between dietary patterns?
- Does adherence to specific dietary patterns lead to over-consumption or under-consumption of nutrients?
- How do the sodium, sugar and fat intakes across the various dietary patterns compare to age, sex, and BMI-matched controls consuming a typical Western or standard American diet?
- What are the factors that predict continued adherence to specific dietary patterns?
