that explored the evidence on methodological approaches to assessing intake of food and dietary supplements in pregnant women and children 2 to 11 years of age.1 The workshop's Statement of Task is in Box 1-1.2 Obtaining reliable and valid dietary intake information for these population groups is particularly difficult -- in pregnancy, rapid changes in nutrient needs and dietary intakes occur, and in young children, much of dietary intake is consumed outside the home and is often misreported by the children or their proxy reporters. To advance the quality of the science in these areas, the workshop had four goals: identify the suite of current 1 The planning committee's role was limited to planning the workshop, and the Proceedings of a Workshop Series was prepared by the workshop rapporteur as a factual summary of what occurred at the workshop.

Overview of Dietary Assessment Methods Cheryl Anderson, professor and dean of the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science at the University of California, San Diego, and member of the workshop series planning com mittee, explained that the workshop content would be distributed across four 2-hour virtual workshops that each include speaker presentations, panel discussions, and question and answer periods. Anderson also provided an overview of the landscape of dietary assess ment, referencing traditional tools (e.g., direct observation, duplicate diet samples, subjective reports such as recalls or records, and close-ended surveys such as food frequency questionnaires)
