Frequently asked questions
The Rapid Eating Assessment for Participants (REAP/REAP-S) is a brief dietary screening tool designed to rapidly assess common nutrition behaviors and overall diet quality. It is suitable for adults seeking a quick evaluation of eating patterns, clinicians or health coaches performing initial nutrition screenings, and individuals tracking dietary changes over time.
Each question is scored on a scale where higher points reflect healthier behaviors. The quiz sums the selected option values to create a total score (range 0–39). Lower scores indicate more nutrition behaviors to improve, mid-range scores show moderate habits, and higher scores suggest generally healthy dietary practices.
Retake the quiz every 4–12 weeks to monitor changes in eating behavior and measure progress toward goals. Frequent retesting (monthly to quarterly) can help you see trends and guide adjustments to your nutrition plan.
No. This quiz is a screening and educational tool intended to highlight patterns and priorities. It does not replace a comprehensive assessment by a registered dietitian or medical professional, especially for individuals with chronic disease, complex dietary needs, or significant weight-management concerns.
If your score falls in the low range, start with small, achievable changes such as increasing vegetables and fruits, swapping sugary beverages for water, and choosing whole grains. Consider setting one or two specific goals, tracking progress, and seeking support from a dietitian or health coach for tailored recommendations.
Yes, the screening tool can be used by people with dietary restrictions, but individualized advice may be necessary. If you have medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, kidney disease, food allergies), consult a registered dietitian or your healthcare provider to adapt recommendations safely.
