Method evidence record

DASES

The Nutrition Self-Efficacy Scale, sometimes called the Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale (DASES), is an 8-item instrument measuring confidence in performing diet-related behaviors and self-management skills. Developed by Lorig and colleagues at the Stanford Patient Education Center in 2003, it is based on self-efficacy theory and measures respondents' confidence in their ability to eat healthily, manage portions, choose healthful foods, and overcome dietary barriers. The scale is used in diabetes care, weight management, and general nutrition intervention research.
