German term or phrase: häufiger auch
It seems to me this should read "häufiger als." Have I got it right?

Konventionelle Erziehung: 57,5% der Eltern setzen neben körperfreien Sanktionen häufiger auch körperliche Sanktionen ein.

My translation:
Conventional parenting: 57.5% of parents use non-physical sanctions more often than physical sanctions.

Thanks!

Sorry, without 'more' - it should read:

"""Beside/in addition to non-physical sanctions, 57.5% of parents commonly use physical sanctions."""

Thanks to all--and notably to Translation-Pro who clarified that häufiger really means häufig in this case. That really was what confused me.
