About

This indicator is the percentage of parents or guardians of students in grades K to 5 who reported eating highly processed foods one time or none the day before the survey.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Student Wellness and Education Survey, Grades 4-5

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "none or 1" by the number of respondents who answered "none, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 or more" to the question: Yesterday, how many times did you eat/consume: c) Highly processed foods (for example, chips, chocolate, candies, ice cream and frozen desserts, fast foods like French fries and burgers, frozen entrées like pasta dishes and pizzas, bakery products like muffins, buns and cakes, processed meats like sausages and deli meats)?

Notes

Due to the very low response rate for the 2023-2024 parent questionnaire, survey results are deemed to be not representative of the overall student and parent population. Therefore, results at the school, district, sector, and provincial levels are not to 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.
