Extract: This paper presents a conceptual and methodological model to study dietary habits in the community. This effort is in response to the need to develop multi-dimensional concepts of dietary behavior in free-living populations and innovative methods appropriate for their study. A theoretical construct, dietary habit, is presented. After describing current methods used in both social and nutrition research, a model is suggested for integrating them in epidemiological research design to study dietary habit. This model is adapted from the sociological technique of triangulation. (author)
