Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E, F
Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease are more common in Northern European heritage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A 24-hour recall is useful as a quick screening tool to assess dietary intake. A food diary provides detailed information, but it is not convenient and requires a follow-up visit. A calorie count requires several days to collect data and requires a trained dietician to analyze the results. A comprehensive diet history may provide more accurate reflection of nutrient intake, but it is time consuming to acquire and requires a trained/skilled dietary interviewer.
