Initial Variables for Model 1: Child and parent acculturation; child’s age, gender, and BMI z-score; distance to school; neighborhood safety; psychosocial variables (child self-efficacy, parent self-efficacy, parent outcome expectations); and all interactions with corresponding child and parent acculturation. Initial Variables for Model 2: Child and parent acculturation; child’s age, gender, and BMI z-score; distance from home; neighborhood safety; % weekly ACS; and all interactions with child and parent acculturation
