This paper assessed the relative validity of maternal 24-hour recalls compared to a weighed record of nutrition intake. The study shows there can be recall bias, with mothers reporting more supplement consumption than observed in a weighed record. The findings have implications for understanding and evaluating impacts of such interventions.
