Diet History Questionnaire: Scanning Information

Depending on the IT resources at your organization, you may be able to print and scan DHQ forms or you may need to outsource the printing and/or scanning. If you use an outside contractor, the costs involved will vary depending on whether you use NCI's version of the DHQ without changes or if you make modifications specific to your study. The following companies provide services for printing or scanning paper-based DHQ forms (any companies that would like to be added to this list should contact DHQ Technical Support). The requirements, benefits, and costs of each option are described in the sections linked below. In some cases, only NCI versions of the DHQ can be used.
