Food and beverage consumption and routines of adolescents and adults in Ghana and Kenya

In 2017, interviewers noted all food and drink consumed by participants inside/outside the home in the previous 24hr period, also recording how long a food event lasts (time categories), time of day of the food event (exact time in minutes), who participants eat with and where. The 24hr dietary recall was structured around a pre-populated 24hr recall tool that we developed on a pre-programmed tablet including >200 foods.

Quota sampling was used to recruit participants taking the following into account: age, sex, socio-economic status, employment/education status and Body Mass Index. Sample here is for n=259 adolescents and adult (male/female) participants aged >=13 years in Accra, Ghana (n=101) and Nairobi, Kenya (n=158). Data were anonymized and can be transmitted upon a data sharing agreement and regulatory compliance: refer to "Terms of Use" statement.
