Acceptability Indicators for University Dining Interventions from a Scoping Review

Supplementary file 1 contains the results of a scoping review analyzing 116 studies on institutional dining interventions. The research, authored by Kenjin B. Chang and published on figshare in May 2026, identifies eight key indicators used to measure intervention acceptability and compares their frequency in the literature with stakeholder rankings of their importance.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking evaluation frameworks for dining interventions based on the eight identified acceptability indicators.
• Aligning research priorities with stakeholder needs by comparing reported metrics with stakeholder-rated importance.
• Designing studies that assess impacts on diner experience, a theme rated as important but seldom reported.
• Analyzing the gap between frequently studied themes (e.g., organizational culture) and stakeholder priorities.

Strengths

• Analysis is based on a scoping review of 116 studies, providing a substantial evidence base.
• Identifies eight distinct acceptability indicators, offering a structured framework for evaluation.
• Integrates stakeholder analysis by ranking indicator importance, bridging research and practice.

Limitations

• The underlying data file is a 1.1 MB DOCX document; column-level data structure and row count are unknown.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update is dated 2026-05-13.
