Family Diet Research

Part 1

In today's families, we have experienced many cases among families that can be linked to nutrition. I set up a study focusing on determining the relationship that exists between family and nutrition. Going deep into the areas including breastfeeding and baby healthcare and the social benefits of family settings and concerns on home eating habits and home-cooked meals. Our expectation is based on the family setting and all the nutrition-based links and practices that may exist. Our society today is faced with many diseases that are linked to food and drinks consumed. Hence research on this sector

Collection of figures and numbers in the family on their conditions and cases of the nutrition-based disease. Quantitative data made of figures of family members and their state in terms of any nutrition-based ill health will need to be collected (Moon et.at 2017). The size of the family and the number of people will also be quantified to help in the study. For useful research on this concern, we will collect data in figures. Data will give a more accurate determination of conclusions concerning the topic of study. Numbers will provide a better understanding of the actual situation in the research area of families (Moon et.at 2017).

To exhaustively collect the required information, randomized family interviews were chosen to be collected. Interviews provide flexibility to the interviewers. It is to interact much with maximum data. Interviews will also give better response and more valid information in comparison to mailed questionnaires and other data collection methods. It is better to conduct thorough research hence the reason for using interviews. Matters concerning families and are always subject to the privacy, and people hate to share in-depth information, especially when dealing with health, nutrition, and family concerns. Face to face interviews will play a significant role in this task. Winning trust is required since this topic is susceptible. This can only be achieved by using face to face to win the interviewee's trust easily (Moon et.at 2017).

One problem when conducting this research will be time. To avoid time wastage, our interview will involve all the family members at a go. However, some matters will require one on one interviews, especially about issues that should not include young children. Therefore, a fast interview should be conducted on the general family then break down to the parents. General discussion will cover all matters that the children can handle since some information is too sensitive to them. On putting the interview question, extra precaution shall be taken on the items that should be asked in this case. The study population will be a random twenty homesteads in the area. A family, according to our research, will be all persons in that house at the time of conducting the research. The research will involve all the family in the house at the time of the field research (Moon et.at 2017).

Part 2

This is research on the families to identify the link between family and cases of nutrition and nutrition-related disease. The study will cover all areas from the standard type of food consumed by the family to the water and all other snacks and fruits consumed by the family. Also, for families that have small breastfeeding kids and families who have patients within the family. The research generally intends to find the relationship between nutrition and family health. Our focus will be on eating habits, types of food consumed, and cases of food and nutrition-related diseases (Campbell & Campbell, 2016) On those that have babies and sick family members, we intend to determine the composition of food they consume every day. This research conducted because of the many upcoming issues of malnutrition and food-related diseases. This is to determine the links to come up with a solution on how to deal with it.

The research participation will take three nights. We shall research in the evening when all the members are home. To exhaustively collect all the information, a maximum of two hours for each family shall be taken. A minimum of seven families will be cover each day for the three nights. To avoid sampling bias, a border in which the research will cover shall be drawn (Campbell & Campbell, 2016). All families that will fall within that area will stand a chance of being interview. No form on which family will be interviewed or which will be left behind. This simple random sampling within the drawn border will be the most effective. All the families will the research zone will be selected by chance.

To conduct a successful interview, the nature and types of questions will matter. All questions asked must be relevant and understandable. As the plan is to split the family into two, the relevancy of the question will be taken keenly. All questions must be credential and free of any form of prejudice (Campbell & Campbell, 2016).
