1
There were 13 missing observations in home FV availability data which reduces N to 261 from 274;
2
Home FV availability score ranges between 0–46. Home FV availability score was dichotomized as a high home FV availability score (≥21) and a low home FV availability score (<21) based on median values;
3
Multiple linear regressions adjusted by study (NU-HOME and Home Plus), parent education and marital status were used for comparisons; P < 0.05.
