Abstract

Our study aims to identify a brief DQI that evaluates the diet quality of young African American women (ages 18-35) by examining the association between the WELL Diet Score and the FVF Screener with young, female African American participants. There is currently no gold standard for a DQI to solidify the validity of the WELL Diet Score (Springfield et al., 2020). Nonetheless, the FVF is well substantiated in effectively measuring the dietary components that have been identified as disease causing agents (Block et al., 2000; Dahl et al., 2012). A strong association via correlational statistics between the WELL Diet Score and the established FVF in our target population would provide evidence to support the validation of the WELL Diet Score in accurately assessing the diet quality of young African American women. We hypothesize a strong and significant association between the WELL Diet Score and the FVF Screener, which would support the validation of the WELL Diet Score in young African American women.

Correlation of the WELL Diet Score and NutritionQuest Fruit, Vegetable, and Fiber Screener

Our study aims to identify a brief DQI that evaluates the diet quality of young African American women (ages 18-35) by examining the association between the WELL Diet Score and the FVF Screener with young, female African American participants. There is currently no gold standard for a DQI to solidify the validity of the WELL Diet Score (Springfield et al., 2020). Nonetheless, the FVF is well substantiated in effectively measuring the dietary components that have been identified as disease causing agents (Block et al., 2000; Dahl et al., 2012). A strong association via correlational statistics between the WELL Diet Score and the established FVF in our target population would provide evidence to support the validation of the WELL Diet Score in accurately assessing the diet quality of young African American women. We hypothesize a strong and significant association between the WELL Diet Score and the FVF Screener, which would support the validation of the WELL Diet Score in young African American women.
