[COLLABORATIVE PROJECT]

1. Project description

1.1. Main objectives

The current study is conducted to examine the following research question:

  • How are healthy eating information-seeking ability and e-health literacy associated with healthy eating intention?
1.2. Materials

The granular interaction thinking of mindsponge theory will be used for the conceptual development of this study, while Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) analytics will be used for statistical analysis [1-4]. The dataset comprises responses from 9775 people living in Qazvin province, Iran, between January and April 2022 [5]. Statistical analyses will be conducted using the bayesvl R package, which utilizes the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm for estimation [6]. For the sake of research transparency and reducing research and reproducibility costs, we have stored all data and computer code on Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/records/13859254.

1.3. Main findings

The preliminary analysis shows that healthy eating information-seeking ability and e-health literacy are positively associated with healthy eating intention. However, the moderation effect of e-health literacy on the relationship between healthy eating information-seeking ability and healthy eating intention is ambiguous (see Figure 1).
