Dietary Diversity Questionnaire (DDQ)

The dietary diversity questionnaire captures information on dietary quality. It shows what food from different food groups were consumed over the previous 24 hours by individuals or households. This simple to use tool can be used in situations where rapid assessments are necessary.
