Logistic regressions were adjusted for gender, grade, and Family Affluence Scale III.

Bolded results are statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CI, confidence interval; E, total energy intake in kilocalories; EDIA, equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility; HEFI-2019, Healthy Eating Food Index 2019; MHW, mental health and wellbeing; OR, odds ratio; PAQ-C, Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children.

aPartial EDIA: integration of ≤4 school practices, Full EDIA: integration of five school practices.

bSince there are no full EDIA schools in the low tertile of economic dependency (i.e. the reference category is empty), the corresponding estimates have been suppressed.
