The EatWellQ8 study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a mobile web application (e-Nutri), capable of delivering automated personalised nutrition advice, compared with face-to-face nutritional advice, in increasing diet quality.
Dietary assessment is via the validated Food4Me FFQ (with an updated user interface that has been designed for better usability) and dietary feedback is derived according to adherence to an 11-item modified US Alternative Healthy Eating Index (m-AHEI).
985 studies on the registry are indexed under Feeding Behavior; 178 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 320 is above the median of 77 across 700 interventional studies indexed under Feeding Behavior.

Ran from Dec 2017 to primary completion in Sep 2018, 8 months.
Of 503 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Feeding Behavior, half reached primary completion within 14 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31. This study's 8 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 515 studies reached it within 14 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31.
