A greater value was assigned to the most ideal response: ‘2’ for responses that reflected agreement with scenarios that show-cased preventative health practice or disagreement with scenarios that showed negative health-practices, ‘1’ for neutral responses and a score of ‘0’ for non-ideal responses. For instance, the scenario “Emily feeds everyone in her household sweetpotato for breakfast because it is more nutritious than bread.” seeks to assess the participants’ understanding of the nutritive value of foods. Agreement with this scenario would constitute an ideal response (i.e. score of ‘2’) and disagreement was regarded as non-ideal (i.e. score of ‘0’). Ideal and non-ideal responses for each scenario were judged by the research team. The AS ranged from zero to ten points.
