Note: PP = Primary Prevention, PP+PS = Primary + Secondary Prevention, C = Control.

Changes are adjusted means (SE).

F values are arm main effects. Reported F values are not statistically significant (P><.05); therefore no post-hoc tests were conducted.

E.S.: Effect size is the standardized mean difference δT appropriate for cluster randomized designs (34).

Intra-class correlations ranged from 0.15 to 0.38 for food intake data; and .05 for Physical Activity and .03 for Sedentary Behavior
