Description: Recent methodological advances allow researchers to use data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to conduct diet sustainability analyses. Data on dietary intake, health outcomes, environmental outcomes, and diet cost can now be integrated and analyzed to evaluate trade-offs between these domains. This presentation provides an overview of these methods and can be used as a resource to guide further research.Speaker: Zach Conrad (William & Mary)Zach Conrad is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology and a Faculty Affiliate at the Global Research Institute at William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. He is a nutritional epidemiologist and food systems scientist, and his research leverages large datasets and modeling techniques to examine the complex interactions between food choice, diet quality, environmental sustainability, and affordability. He is the author of more than 45 peer-reviewed scientific publications and he sits on the editorial board for the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and Nutrition Journal. His research is currently supported by grants from the Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Science, the Commonwealth Center for Energy and the Environment, and The Jeffress Trust.
