1. Availability of a FV side dish
|
Whether there was at least one FV side available on the children’s menu (1) or not (0)
|
|
2. Prevalence of FV side dishes
|
The number of FV side dishes divided by the total number of side dishes on each children’s menu
|
|
3. Default status of FV side dishes
|
Restaurants were coded based on the default side dish options on their children’s menu:
|
|
1 = FV always the default
|
Included restaurants in which a FV was always the default side dish and restaurants in which there was no default, but all side dishes offered were FV
|
|
2 = FV sometimes the default
|
Included restaurants in which the side dish depended on the main dish ordered: some meals came with a FV side dish by default while others did not
|
|
3 = FV never the default
|
Included restaurants in which a non-FV was always the default side dish and restaurants in which there were no default side dishes (and possible side dish options included non-FV)
|
|
4. Types of FV side dishes:
|
Whether each of the FV side dish items listed below (n = 19 possibilities across restaurants) were included on the children’s menu (0 = no, 1 = yes, 2 = two distinct forms of that item were included as side dish options; e.g., corn on the cob and corn kernels).
