Analyses were performed only for outcomes with significant or marginal program effects. Models were run using bootstrap estimation with 1,000 replications. Time was set from −4.00 to 1.58. For all analyses except body mass index z-score we used 8 waves of mediator, SECD (social-emotional character development), and 8 waves of outcome.

The indirect effect refers to the path from condition to the slope of the outcome through the slope of social-emotional and character development. This mediator includes a significant quadratic trajectory with time 0 set at wave 6.

The type of mediation observed was classified using Barron and Kenny (1986) and MacKinnon et al. (2002) as guides.
