B, unstandardised co-efficient; BMI, Body Mass Index; BSCS, Brief Self-Control Scale scores; Baseline Frequency, self-reported behavior at baseline; Baseline Norm, perceived peer norms at baseline. Norm Change, change in perceived peer norms between baseline and follow up; T1 Norm*BSCS, the interaction between perceived peer norms at baseline and self-control scores; Norm Change*BSCS, the interaction between change in perceived peer norms and self-control scores; Estimates from the final step of each regression (step four) are reported.
