Bivariate associations (Pearson’s Correlation Coefficients and 95% Confidence Interval) between participant’s support for obesity prevention policy change and perceived and objectively-measured (Geographic Information System, GIS) neighborhood barriers to healthy food and physical activity. Estimates with p-values < 0.05 are highlighted in bold.

	Healthy food policy support	Physical activity policy support	Overall policy support
Perceived Neighborhood Nutrition Barriers (higher score indicates more barriers)	0.18 (0.08, 0.28)	0.15 (0.04, 0.25)	0.18 (0.08, 0.28)
Perceived Total Neighborhood Barriers (higher score indicates more barriers)	0.18 (0.08, 0.29)	0.17 (0.06, 0.27)	0.19 (0.09, 0.30)
GIS nutrition - density (higher score indicates better access)	−0.04 (−0.16, 0.08)	−0.07 (−0.19, 0.05)	−0.06 (−0.18, 0.06)
GIS nutrition - distance (higher score indicates greater distance and less access)	−0.08 (−0.20, 0.04)	−0.07 (−0.19, 0.04)	−0.08 (−0.20, 0.04)
Perceived Neighborhood Physical Activity Barriers (higher score indicates more barriers)	0.17 (0.06, 0.27)	0.16 (0.06, 0.27)	0.18 (0.08, 0.28)
GIS physical activity - density (higher score indicates better access)	0.05 (−0.07, 0.17)	0.12 (0.00, 0.23)	0.09 (−0.03, 0.20)
GIS physical activity - distance (higher score indicates greater distance and less access)	−0.05 (−0.17, 0.07)	−0.11 (−0.22, 0.00)	−0.08 (−0.20, 0.04)
