| About Us
Block Dietary Data Systems and Berkeley Nutrition Services are now known as NutritionQuest. We are the official source of the Block Food Frequency Questionnaire.
NutritionQuest was founded by Dr. Gladys Block in 1993, initially to provide services to health researchers. All of our questionnaires are derived from and based on Dr. Block's landmark research into the development of valid, user-friendly assessment methods. We are known around the world for questionnaire design and dietary analysis services to nutritional epidemiologists and public health researchers.
Our products and services have expanded to include physical activity assessment, an email-based dietary intervention program, and an online data management system. Our clients include researchers and health practitioners at HMOs, universities, government, and companies.
