Notes:
a
The label experience for each descriptive variable (read, understand, use) is shown in binary form (0=no, 1=yes). The code reveals the combines label experience as follows: if “read” = 0, Code = (1) (“understand” or “use” are then not applicable or n/a); if “read” = 1, code for each possible combination =(2)-(5);
b
the model for each indicator food outcome is adjusted for all socio-demographic characteristics.
