Your scenario:
You are working for the Victorian Healthy Eating Enterprise (VHEE) and your primary role is to facilitate implementation of the VicHealth Healthy Eating Strategy 2019-2023. The focus of the Healthy Eating Strategy is “to support and promote fair and sustainable changes across the food system to make healthier eating easier for all Victorians”. The next task for your team is to develop a new resource for the promotion of “Sustainable Diets”. Before you tackle this task, you think it’d be beneficial to understand the Victorian public’s current knowledge, perceptions, experiences and attitudes towards healthy eating behaviours that are environmentally friendly. After all, this is a good place to start!
You float ideas with your team about organising a qualitative study that will help you to collect this preliminary data, but in the meantime your boss finds a qualitative study that was run in another country which looked at the same thing and formed the basis for their guidelines. She asks you to critique the study and report your findings to her. This will help you to set up your study in the near future.
Your task:
You will be required to choose ONE of the given articles, read and extract relevant information to complete the template provided. The template encompasses the questions you need to answer. Use these to structure your critique. This assessment should be presented in the form of a report (with in-text citations and references), it cannot use dot-points and should be written in full sentences.
