Question

Identify the method to assess reliability in the following case:
To assess the nutrient intake of a group of subjects using the 24-hour recall method and the food frequency questionnaire. The result obtained from these two sets of measures are correlated to measure the level of reliability of the tool under consideration.

• A. Equivalent method
• B. Test-retest method
• C. Split-half method
• D. Construct method

Hint:

The equivalent method of reliability testing compares two different measurement tools to assess consistency in results.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In the equivalent method, reliability is assessed by comparing the results of two different tools or methods, such as the 24-hour recall method and the food frequency questionnaire in this case. If they produce similar results, the reliability of the tool is confirmed.
