About
This indicator is the percentage of students in grades K to 5 who eat meals while watching TV 3 or more times in the past week, as reported by a parent or guardian.
Source
New Brunswick Health Council, Student Wellness and Education Survey, Grades K-5: Parent/Guardian Perspective
Calculations
This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or more or I do not know" by the number of respondents who answered "none, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or more or I do not know" to the question: Last week, how many times did your child eat meals while watching TV?
Notes
Due to the very low response rate for the 2025-2026 parent questionnaire, survey results may not be representative of the overall student and parent population. Therefore, results should not be used for planning or comparing to previous editions of the survey. Some schools will not receive their K to 5 results due to the extremely low number of parents who responded.
