Statistical methods / analysis
Sample size estimate is based on a calculation for structural equation modelling sample using the N:q rule, where q is the number of variables. A N:q ratio of 15 to 20 participants per variable is an accepted sample size guide. The total sample size required for this study is 360 to 480 (assuming 14 HAPA constructs, 10 covariates).
Data will be analysed using descriptive statistics to understand the study sample and confirmatory structural equation modelling to understand the relationships between, and relative importance of, parents’ attitudes and beliefs and children’s intake of unhealthy foods.
