Is there an online or CD-ROM demonstration of USDA's multiple-pass
system for obtaining 24-hour dietary recalls?

Howdy flower12,

I have found an online file entitled "Improved Method for the 24-hour
Dietary Recall for Use in National Surveys" that includes a flowchart
illustration of the "New USDA Multiple-Pass Method."

Would that be the type of thing for which you are looking?

Thanks!  denco-ga

Hi, Denco-ga!
A flow-chart would be better than nothing.  I was sort of hoping for a
powerpoint presentation or video demonstrating it.

thanks!

Howdy flower12,

It might be best if you review the file that I have found
to make sure it will meet your needs.  If it does, you can
respond to this request, and I will post this as an answer
with my search criteria and sourcing, etc.

You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the PDF
document below.  If you do not have it, you can download it
from the Adobe website.

This is a PDF file of a paper titled "Improved Method for
the 24-hour Dietary Recall for Use in National Surveys" and
includes a flowchart of the "New USDA Multiple-Pass Method.

It is relatively large, so it might take some time for you
to download.

I looked for a powerpoint presentation as well as a video
of the process, but with no results.

Looking Forward, denco-ga
