Diet and behavior in children: methodological considerations

Department of Psychiatry Ottawa Civic Hospital Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

The present article examines several current methodological issues in the research on diet and behavior in children. When careful consideration is given to research design, administration of the independent variable, measurement of dependent variables, and statistical analysis, the most conclusive results are obtained from experimental studies. At this early stage in the study of diet and behavior in children, evidence from clinical reports and passive-observational (also called correlational) studies are useful for generating hypotheses. Even when experimental methods are used, there are several issues important for the interpretation of studies addressing the topic of diet and behavior in children.
