Abstract

Asking about a patient's diet has always been a critical part of primary care wellness visits, as well as in managing chronic medical problems like hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. However, patient responses when asked to recall their diet is time-consuming, subjective, and can even be uncomfortable. This project aims to create a qualitative and objective tool for patients to report back their dietary habits. This project will 1) create a short dietary questionnaire for patients in Newtown Primary care and 2) assess for patient receptiveness to sharing dietary habits through said questionnaire.
