Data come from surveys collected in 1999 (EAT-I) and 2016 (EAT-IV) from participants of Project EAT, a longitudinal cohort of adolescents from Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN, who identified as parents at EAT-IV.

Paired t-tests were used to determine differences between EAT-I an EAT-IV family food and mealtime practices.
