Adjusted for age, sex, maternal education, and residential neighborhood socioeconomic status with school and subject as nested random effects.
Estimates per 0.085 and 0.120 change respectively in greenness within and surrounding school boundaries (i.e., 1-interquartile change).
Fifty-meter buffer around school boundaries.
