Figures shown are the frequency and percentages of parents who recalled each type of information overall and by feedback condition. For correct recall, percentages are calculated from *only from those who recalled the information (errors of omission) and †the total sample (errors of omission).
BMI, body mass index; BPC, best practice care; MI, motivational interviewing; WhtR, waist to height ratio.
