MVPA moderate-vigorous physical activity, SSB sugar-sweetened beverages, RD risk difference, RR risk ratio, 95% CI 95% confidence intervals. Multiple mediators include knowledge, intentions, self-efficacy, and self-control. Models include age, sex, psychological distress, location, mediators at baseline, and outcomes measured at baseline as covariates
