Survey on Organic Vegetable Consumption Drivers and Barriers in the UAE

Seham M. Al Raish's survey data from November 2024 to February 2025 includes responses from 408 adult residents in the United Arab Emirates. The data covers sociodemographic characteristics and knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to organic vegetables, with statistical reliability confirmed by Cronbach's alpha = 0.8.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between education level and organic food knowledge based on the reported significant association (P = 0.01).
• Model the influence of age on attitudes and practices toward organic vegetables based on the significant P-values (0.006 and 0.048).
• Identify primary barriers to organic food adoption, such as high prices and limited availability, as described in the results.
• Assess the distribution of consumer knowledge levels based on the reported mean score (1.18) and percentage with excellent knowledge (29.7%).
• Evaluate the relationship between positive attitudes (mean = 2.70) and reported engagement practices (mean = 2.83) among UAE residents.

Strengths

• Survey instrument reliability is confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha score of 0.8.
• Data collection covers a specific time range from November 2024 to February 2025.
• The sample includes 408 respondents, providing a basis for statistical analysis.
• Results include specific mean scores and percentages for knowledge (1.18, 29.7%), attitudes (2.70, 68.5%), and practices (2.83, 70.6%).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (39.4 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a summary or documentation file rather than raw data.
