Review and improvement of dietary assessment methods to better measure diet in large-scale epidemiological studies is an ongoing task.

The IDAMES project generates Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for innovative, improved and feasible methods assessing diet in epidemiological studies that allow quantitative and detailed characterization of individuals regarding their dietary intake, including alcohol, in individuals to be applied in the European Union and other places and to be used by scientists and other stakeholders in Public Health.

HHF contributes to the major outcomes of this project:
