Estimates are per 1-unit increase in the WQS index, reflected as an 1 decile increase in all PM components. WQS regression models of the 15 PM components, adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, overall household income, perceived neighborhood safety, urbanicity, physical activity, and daily screen average hours and site.  Significance levels:  *indicates p < 0.05; **indicates p < 0.01.
