Dear Statalist member: I am working on my thesis proposal regarding breastfeeding in the workplace. I will be collecting data from three three different groups. I will be interviewing women (probabilistic sample) and then asking them to provide a name to build the other two groups (convenience sample). Groups to obtain data from: 1. working mothers; 2. managers; 3. other employee working in the same office/workspace or sharing responsibilities with the nursing woman. Working mothers sample will be obtained from a database provided by a HR department in the academic setting I am working at. Then I will ask the mothers in the sample to recommend their immediate manager name and also the closest employee working with her (example: sharing office). Hypothesis: Is workplace support influencing the breastfeeding intention and also the breastfeeding duration? Variables: sociodemographic, manager support, colleagues support, institutional policies, etc. Questionnaires: I will be sending a separate self-administered questionnaire to the groups. One designed for women (it was already validated). Managers and colleagues will be receiving another one. What is the best approach to integrate the three sets of data into one analysis? Is the proposed sampling ok?
