Answer preview
The 24-hr diet tool does not provide sufficient information to establish the successive interventions (Baranowski, 2014). Although the approach will evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention study in changing a client’s diet, it is not suitable for determining the next steps. It is because the concern for a differential response bias is imminent. The control and intervention groups may provide varying diet reports, which makes the following steps unreliable. The information gathered thus cannot be utilized in decision-making regarding a different approach to diet.
