q2 i? Parental involvement approaches produced a mean effect of Md = 0.39 for FV consumption or preference, just below the Zone of Desired Effects, with varied effect sizes including four negative. → Dudley 2015

Evidence¶

Dudley 2015¶

Dudley, D. A., Cotton, W. G., & Peralta, L. R. (2015). Teaching approaches and strategies that promote healthy eating in primary school children: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analysis of 10 studies with parental involvement reporting against 23 FV outcomes; 91% significant at p < .05; 14 effect sizes calculated across five studies, varied from large to negative. The review reports a mean Cohen's d of Md = 0.39.

"The mean effect was Md = 0.39 that was just below the Zone of Desired effects however it is worthwhile noting that no parent involvement approach was ever 'stand-alone'."
