Summary:Huye et al develop a valid and reliable instrument to assess individuals' perceived attributes of implementing a healthy diet. Using the Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory as a conceptual framework, this descriptive study consisted of three phases. Phase I included group panel discussions to explore attributes related to a healthy diet and assist in the development of items.

The instrument was pilot and field tested in Phase 3, followed by item and factor analyses and reliability estimates of resulting factors.
