Data sharing
Throughout the registration, we will ask your permission to share your data in a database so that they can be used by other researchers. You can participate in NutriQuébec even if you refuse to share your data.
2. Complete the core questionnaires
The core questionnaires that need to be completed every year concern:
- Your diet during 2 specific and randomly chosen days*
- Your physical activity habits
- Your alcohol, tobacco and drug consumption habits
- Your personal characteristics like your education
- Your physical and mental health
- Your financial access to food
*You will receive an email on each of these days. You will need to indicate all foods and beverages that you consumed the day before. The tool was conceived to help you remember what you ate the day before. Therefore, you do not need to write down everything you eat in advance!
Duration
The necessary time to complete all core questionnaires is about 1 hour. You will have 30 days from the moment of your registration to complete the questionnaires.

Core Questionnaires
