HDDS/Evidence
Method evidence record

HDDS

The HDDS is a simple, 12-item food group checklist that captures the diversity of the household diet in the preceding 24 hours. Developed by the FAO in 2011 as a proxy indicator of dietary quality and nutrient adequacy, the HDDS enables rapid assessment of the nutritional vulnerability of households in resource-limited settings. A household with access to foods from many groups is more likely to consume adequate calories, protein, and micronutrients.
