PhD thesis, University of Glasgow. DATA & FILE OVERVIEW 1. File List: Before_After_CHiPI implementation_QuantitativeData 2. The dataset has two sheets: i) Definition and characterisation of variables, ii) Quantitative data In sheet two, columns represent variables while rows represent participants indicated as serial numbers. METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION 1. Data Collection methods: A questionnaire addapted from the STEPWise surveillance for risk factors for non-communicable diseases was used to collect the data. Parameters were both self-reported (e.g. saltPlat = How often do you add salt or a salty sauce such as soy sauce to your food right before you eat it or as you are eating it?) and abjectively measured (e.g. Wt = body weight). 2. Methods for processing the data: Data were extracted from the questionnaires, entered in excel, cleaned and exported to and analysed in SPSS 3. Software-specific information needed to interpret the data: These data can be analysed in SPSS. 4. Quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: After the data were exported to SPSS, it was reviewed by the supervisory team. 5. People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission: The researcher collected the data. Guidance during data analysis was obtained from the supervisory team.
