Testing consumer's knowledge of paediatric food-based dietary guidelines within Gauteng

The study, "Consumer Knowledge of the Paediatric Food-based Dietary Guidelines", made use of a convenience sampling method. Data was collected by visiting locations with a high likeliness of hosting relevant participants for the study (i.e. being the primary caregiver of a 0-5-year-old, and residing in Gauteng), this included a paediatric clinic, taxi ranks, and kindergartens. Responses from these participants were gathered by means of an online consumer questionnaire (designed on the software, Qualtrics).The questionnaire commenced by providing participants with an informed consent form, in which participation in the study could be considered. This form included the main objectives of the study and communicated to participants that they could, at any time, skip a question, or completely discontinue participation if desired. This quantitative approach to research yielded accurate findings of a reliable and valid nature.

本研究《儿童食品营养指南消费者认知》采用了便利抽样法。研究人员通过访问具有较高可能包含相关参与者的地点（例如，作为0-5岁儿童的初级监护人，并居住在豪登省）来收集数据，包括儿科诊所、出租车排队处和幼儿园。参与者的回答是通过在线消费者问卷（使用Qualtrics软件设计）收集的。问卷首先向参与者提供一份知情同意书，其中说明了参与研究的可能性，并告知参与者，他们可以在任何时候跳过任何问题，或者在需要的情况下完全退出参与。这种定量的研究方法产生了可靠且有效的准确发现。
