aLinear mixed models based on paired data with imputed baseline socioeconomic variables and nonimputed changes in behaviors as independent variables.

bBecause 998 participants had missing data on at least one of behavioral change, the sample sizes of models in Table 4 are smaller than those of models in Table 3.
