In turn, we pose the question: does this knowledge influence dietary decision making? Data are taken from a survey determining socioeconomic impacts of vitamin A fortified peanut butter on Philippine households. Questions on the relationships of nutrition to health were selected to construct a knowledge index on which household respondents could be ranked. We then tested hypotheses regarding what types of individual, family-level, and community structural characteristics would predict performance on this index. The results indicate that the strongest predictors of NHK come from sociological theory related to family solidarity and community centrality, in addition to information accessibility and household income. Our findings also indicate that NHK influences dietary choices with regard to the purchase of a vitamin fortified staple food product, which is essential when addressing nutritional deficiency problems in developing countries.}, number={3}, journal={ECOLOGY OF FOOD AND NUTRITION}, author={Moxley, Robert L. and Jicha, Karl A. and Thompson, Gretchen H.}, year={2011}, pages={215–239} } @inbook{moxley_thomson_1997, title={Peanut CRSP human resource development}, booktitle={Impacts and scientific advances through collaborative research on peanuts}, publisher={Griffin, GA: Peanut CRSP Management Entity Office, University of Georgia, Georgia Experiment Station}, author={Moxley, R.

A Guttman Scale of Family Solidarity is developed and an investigation of the relationship between organizational solidarity of the family and several quality of life measures is carried out. The latter include Guttman scales of current Complexity of House Construction, Household Possessions, and Health Practices, as well as nonscale measures of Language Spoken, Amount of Land Owned and a General Level of Living Score.
