The results show that while average consumption frequency of traditional foods remained the same in both clusters (5 times/week in average), the index of market integration for introduced foods increased from 5.3 in Allada-Bohicon market cluster to 78.1 in Toffo-Bohicon market cluster (Table 6).
The FFQ included 24 predefined questions on the average consumption frequency during the previous year (never or rarely; times per month, week, or day).
In these FFQs, we inquired about the average consumption frequency of 118 166 food items in the past year with a prespecified serving size for each item.
Diet was assessed by a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire that contained 169 food items, covering average consumption frequencies and serving sizes of selected food items during the previous year.
Similarly, Amaza (2009) indicated an average AIV consumption frequency of two to three times a week.
These include low socioeconomic and/or educational status of heads of households, distance of water source from home, average water consumption, frequency of usage latrine and soap among others.
However, considering data availability for this paper, average values of consumption frequency over 174 households in Allada, 183 in Toffo, and 115 in Bohicon were used.
Patients were asked to report their lifetime history of drinking and smoking, including status, frequency, average consumption amount, and type of alcohol, at the time of admission.
We surveyed the average portion size and consumption frequency of 28 fish species [see Supplemental Material, Table 1 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.1104079)], using a scheme adopted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey NHANES Food Frequency Questionnairere (2003 2004) [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDCC) 2003].
Alcohol consumption was assessed by using responses to questions regarding frequency and average consumption of beer, wine, and strong spirits measured in grams per week.
Furthermore, a recent cluster RCT (n = 764 students) of the Climate Schools: Alcohol and Cannabis course in 10 Sydney secondary schools [ 28, 29] was also successful in increasing cannabis and alcohol-related knowledge, and decreasing the average consumption of alcohol use and the frequency of cannabis use and binge drinking amongst young people.
