HFEQ/Evidence
Method evidence record

HFEQ

The HFEQ is a parent-report questionnaire measuring the household food environment—the availability of healthy and unhealthy foods, parent feeding practices, and family mealtime characteristics. Developed by Boles, Fulkerson, and colleagues, the HFEQ captures multiple dimensions of the home environment that influence children's dietary intake and weight status. The home food environment is a key modifiable target for childhood obesity prevention interventions.
