1. Was the data analysis approach appropriate for the research design and nature of the data? (4 points)
Yes, the design of the study and nature of the data was appropriate. I believe that the data are accurate, and the analysis of the research findings is appropriate. The researchers used a Semistructured Topic Guide Questions that consist of open ended and closed ended questions.
The English transcripts of the parents’ perception in preventing obesity in their children were analyzed by two researchers using content analysis.

The English transcripts were read by two researchers and analyzed using content analysis. The study is a qualitative method, and the researchers used an analytic framework on social cognitive theory. This theory explains the perception of the participants’ ability to prevent obesity in their children, impact of exercise and diet, and the factors that negatively impact parents ability to prevent obesity.
5. What major themes or processes emerged? (4 points)
The study is about the parents perceptions of their ability to prevent obesity in their children. The “overarching theme of parental perceptions of ability to prevent obesity repeatedly emerged in the transcripts on preliminary analysis” (Glassman, Fegueroa, and Irigoyen, 2011). The codes of parental ability to prevent obesity were categorized into two categories: the parents’ perception and the negative impact on the parental ability to prevent obesity. The theme summary was illustrated in Table 3 and 4.
6. What evidence does the report provide that the analysis is accurate and appropriate? Were data displayed in a manner that allows you to verify the researcher's conclusions? (4
