NB: Equations also included English language use, adult BMI, adult age, child gender, child age, and child BMI which were all non-significantly associated with cohesion change.
NB2: Bivariate analyses revealed one case in which all six cohesion scale items were scored as one at baseline and 7 at follow-up. This case was removed. Its inclusion causes English to be statistically significantly associated with cohesion change.
