1Sample size of these variables is 714 (paper: n = 224, online: n = 490), due to exclusion of cases which questionnaires were completed by other individuals than parents.
2 Sample size were lower due to missing values in the following variables: respondent age (n = 713, online: n = 489), job situation (n = 712, paper: n = 222), income perception (n = 713, paper: n = 223), household members (n = 711, paper: n = 221), household classification (n = 713, paper: n = 223), household number of children (n = 694, paper: n = 204), food insecurity level (n = 667, paper: n = 216; online: n = 451); nutrition knowledge (n = 654, paper: n = 164).
