Eight questions about protein intake
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Most preferred protein type in adolescent athletes (i.e. animal vs. plant protein)
Part of a 10 minute multiple choice survey
Measured: Each participant has three (3) weeks to open/complete the survey from time of receipt. Participants will be instructed to complete the survey in one sitting during a time and in an environment in which they can fully devote their attention and focus.
Secondary outcomes (6)
Reported reason(s) for protein preference
