Most of the significant differences observed were on food items which became very expensive.

Percentages refer to the proportion of adolescents who consumed the food item over the last 7 days and are calculated from column total. ¹The significance level is 0.0016 [0.05/30) due to Bonferroni correction.

A Chi-square test was used to calculate the P values.
