Development and usability evaluation of a web-based healthy eating practice questionnaire for Korean preschool children: a child-parent dyad approach.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe illustrated Healthy Eating Practice Questionnaire (HEPQ) was previously developed to assess food preferences, eating behaviors, hand/oral hygiene practices, and nutrition knowledge among Korean preschool children. Nevertheless, the lack of an integrated scoring system has limited its interpretability. This study developed a scoring system and a web-based platform with tailored feedback using a child-parent dyad approach. SUBJECTS/
methodsThe development process consisted of 5 phases: 1) questionnaire preparation for online use, 2) formulation of the scoring system, 3) determination of the cut-off values for three levels of healthy eating practices based on a child-parent survey, 4) technical development of the online platform, and 5) usability evaluation. A scoring system was established by standardizing the domain scores to a 100-point scale. One hundred child-parent pairs participated in the survey to calculate the Healthy Eating Practice Score (HEPS) and determine cut-off values for the HEPS levels. The validity of the cut-off values was examined by a comparison with the Nutrition Quotient for Preschoolers (NQ-P). A web-based platform was developed, and 47 child-parent pairs were used to assess its usability.
resultsSignificant positive correlations were observed between child and parent HEPS across all domains. The HEPS-based classification showed good discriminative ability because higher HEPS levels were consistently associated with higher NQ-P scores in children and parents. The web-based HEPQ was easy to use and understand, and almost all participants (97.9% of children and 93.6% of parents) reported no difficulties using the platform.
conclusionThe web-based HEPQ platform with an integrated scoring system provides a valid, user-friendly tool for assessing and interpreting healthy eating practices in preschool children. This platform supports parental engagement in children's healthy eating practices and provides a practical tool for evaluating the effectiveness of nutrition education in early childcare settings.
