AB  - OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of combining short-term and long-term 
      dietary assessment instruments as new concept for improving usual dietary intake 
      assessment on the individual level. DESIGN: Feasibility study of completing three 
      24 h dietary recalls (24-HDR) and a self-administered food propensity 
      questionnaire (FPQ). The 24-HDR was conducted by monthly telephone interviews, 
      using EPIC-SOFT software. The FPQ was completely standardized across cohorts and 
      offered either as a web-based tool or in paper format. SETTING: Random sample 
      derived from five ongoing European cohort studies (EPIC-San Sebastian, 
      EPIC-Florence, EPIC-Potsdam, Estonia Genome Center (EGC) and Norwegian Women and 
      Cancer study (NOWAC)). SUBJECTS: A total of 400 participants. RESULTS: Overall, 
      the total participation rate for the present study was 65.3 % (n 261). On 
      average, completion of the 24-HDR was highest for the first 24-HDR (63.0 %) and 
      decreased slightly for the second (60.3 %) and third 24-HDR (56.3 %). The 
      proportions of selecting the web-based FPQ varied among the study centres, with 
      the highest in EGC (92.9 %) and NOWAC (70.0 %) and the lowest in EPIC-San 
      Sebastian (25.5 %) and EPIC-Potsdam (33.9 %). Web users rarely requested support 
      and were younger and more highly educated than those who completed the paper 
      format. CONCLUSIONS: The present study supports the feasibility of a combined 
      application of three 24-HDR and an FPQ in culturally different populations. The 
      varying acceptance of the web-based instrument across populations requires a 
      flexible application of assessment instruments.
