Dataset for "Perceived Impact and Feasibility of Health Equity Policy Actions among Obesity Practitioners, Researchers, and Policymakers"
Description
This is a survey dataset from a research survey of U.S. public health practitioners, local policymakers, and researchers active in obesity policy or health equity. They were surveyed to identify local policy actions most salient for addressing health equity. The survey was conducted August through November 2020. It asked respondents to select the most important health equity policy actions and rate them for potential impact for reducing health disparities and feasibility to put in place in the next five years. The Institutional Review Board of Washington University in St. Louis approved this study (IRB ID Number: 202006056). There are two files provided: survey dataset (csv file), and the data dictionary (xlsx file). The survey dataset includes responses from 195 respondents who completed the minimum number of questions necessary for analysis (i.e., selecting the top 10 most important policy actions).
