a Adjusted follow-up value in a mixed model with individual student modeled as random effect and school as nested random effect; time and condition as fixed effects; covariates include ethnicity, menstrual status, body mass index, participation in 7th grade PE/athletics, neighborhood safety, family and friend support for physical activity.

b Adjusted difference at follow-up between intervention (I) and control (C); adjusted for baseline scores of variable, ethnicity, menstrual status, body mass index, participation in 7th. Grade PE/athletics, neighborhood safety, family and friend support for physical activity.
