During the last update of the French FBDG, a survey with a representative sample of dieticians investigated 1) how to communicate portion sizes and 2) the most relevant time frame when delivering dietary guidelines. The objective was to determine how to express portion sizes and time frame for Food Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDG) using the feedback of dietitians. Data were obtained from an internet-based survey of 441 French dieticians (collected from November 24, 2013 through January 2, 2014).
Background: Food Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDG) need to accessible and understandable to consumers. During the last update of the French FBDG, a survey with a representative sample of dieticians investigated 1) how to communicate portion sizes and 2) the most relevant time frame when delivering dietary guidelines.
Objective: To determine how to express portion sizes and time frame for Food Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDG) using the feedback of dietitians.
Design: Data were obtained from an internet-based survey of 441 French dieticians (collected from November 24, 2013 through January 2, 2014).
985 studies on the registry are indexed under Feeding Behavior; 178 are open to participants now.

Most participants were female (96%), were under age 45, were working in a health institution and/or had a private practice, and had, on average, 12.5 years of professional experience. Seventy-five percent received mainly adults in their practice and 62.5% received mainly patients with a health condition.

All members of the AFDN (French Association of Dietitians and Nutritionists) were invited to participate (n=2500 except the ones that had already participated in the pre-test n=10).
Members of the AFDN who have completed the online questionnaire were retained for analysis (n= 441).
Exclusion Criteria:
Incomplete questionnaires Participants of the pre-test (n=10)
There was no intervention, but we conducted separate analyses to identify differences according to the level of experience of the dietician. We used the median number of years of professional experience (median=8) to split the sample and create two subgroups: 1) less experienced dieticians (less than 9 years of experience; n= 225)
Other: there was no intervention, only separate analyses
and 2) more experienced dieticians (9 years of experience or more; n=215).
Other: there was no intervention, only separate analyses
We only conducted separate analyses to see if responses differed according to level of experience.
Questionnaire to measure number of dietitians using different types of portion size and time frame
Open-ended questions to measure how dietitians and patients describe portion sizes and time frame

Ran from Nov 2013 to primary completion in Jan 2014, 1 month.
Of 100 non-industry observational studies under Feeding Behavior, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 62. This study's 1 month is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 101 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 62.
