aNegative binomial regression for weekly alcohol consumption, heavy episodic drinking, and consumption of sugary drinks; linear regression for fruit and vegetable consumption, and MVPA; logistic regression for smoking abstinence. Regression models adjusted for baseline values of age, sex, household economy (“Not so good” and “Not good at al” pooled), and psychosocial variables (ie, self-perceived importance, confidence, and know-how to change behaviors).

bIncidence rate ratios for weekly alcohol consumption, heavy episodic drinking, and consumption of sugary drinks; odds ratios for smoking abstinence; and mean values for fruit and vegetable consumption and MVPA. CI: compatibility intervals, defined by the 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles of the posterior distribution.

cConfidence intervals for null-hypothesis testing are shown in Table S1 in Multimedia Appendix 6.

dAmong participants at-risk for the behavior at baseline (weekly alcohol consumption: n=46, heavy episodic drinking: n=338, fruit and vegetables: n=738, sugary drinks: n=469, MVPA=527, and cigarette smoking: n=140).

eNumber of weekly standard drinks (12 g pure alcohol), monthly frequency of heavy episodic drinking (ie, ≥4 standard drinks), number of daily portions (100 g) of fruit and vegetables consumed, number of weekly sugary drinks (33 cL) consumed, weekly time spent in MVPA (minutes), and 4-week point prevalence of smoking abstinence.
