Note: B coefficients presented with standard errors in parentheses. All models also controlled for race/ethnicity, immigration status, parent education, family income to needs, school sector, school size, school minority representation, and school socioeconomic composition. Model 2 also included interactions of obesity with the family structure dummy variables.

a

Reference category for family structure dummy variables is two-parent.

b

Family instability is a count of family structure transitions.
