Articles in seven leading health education journals (American Journal of Health Behavior, American Journal of Health Education, American Journal of Health Promotion, Health Education & Behavior, Health Education Research, Journal of American College Health, and Journal of School Health) were analyzed for the years 2000-2003. For four of the seven journals, less than 5% of their research articles reported a power analysis. Only two journals (American Journal of Health Behavior and Health Education Research) had a modest number of research articles (14-35%) that reported power analysis. This is the first reported examination of power analysis in health education journals. The findings indicate a potential problem with the quality of health education research being reported. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: CEU exam questions research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
