Abstract
The Norfolk Island Carbon and Health Evaluation (NICHE) Program is a project to trial the effects of a Personal Carbon Trading (PCT) system aimed at reducing carbon emissions and obesity related behaviours. This paper reports on a series of factor analyses designed to test attitudinal associations from a baseline survey carried out on the island. A self-completed questionnaire was offered to a randomly selected adult in each of the 800 households on Norfolk Island in the South Pacific. This was the first part of a three-tiered baseline survey of the island following the WHO STEPS approach. Items designed to measure attitudes to obesity, global warming/climate change, and the process of Personal Carbon Trading were factor analysed using Principal Axis Factoring (PAF). Correlations between the derived factors and other variables from the study were then examined.
