score_lbc: Scored data from the Lifestyle Behavior Checklist

Description

This function scores the Lifestyle Behavior Checklist and provides subscale scores for the following behaviors: Food-Related Misbehavior, Overeating, Emotions Related to Overweight, and Physical Activity. NOTE: for FBS, caution should be used in interpreting the Food-Related Misbehavior and Overeating subscales as this study is missing 3 (of 7) and 2 (of 7) questions for the respective subscales.

Usage

score_lbc(lbc_data, study = "fbs", parID)

Arguments

lbc_data	a data.frame all items for the Lifestyle Behavior Checklist following the naming conventions described above
study	a string indicating which study collected the data. Currently, only option and default is 'fbs'. This parameter is included so this script can be adapted for future studies that collect all questions - FBS skipped first 5 questions
parID	(optional) name of participant ID column in intake_data. If included the output dataset will be matched by parID, if not included the output dataset will be in the order of intake_data but will have no participant identifier.

Details

Note, as long as variable names match those listed, the dataset can include other variables
