Global Diet Quality Project

The Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ), supported by USAID Advancing Nutrition and partners, enables population-level diet quality monitoring in over 90 countries. The DQQ is a low-burden tool for collecting valid, comparable food group consumption data and takes only five minutes to implement. The data collected through the DQQ can be used to assess dietary patterns and trends in the general population. Separate questionnaires, specially designed for infants and young children under two years of age, will be released in early 2022. Refer to the following links for more information about the DQQ:
