Note: Health-related behaviors are categorized here to illustrate general distributions of responses, though they were analyzed as continuous variables. The measure of physical activity analyzed in the present research represents scores derived from the Youth Activity Profile that were further calibrated based on actigraphy data collected from a subset of participants. As described elsewhere, these estimates are specific to the assumptions adopted in the calibration process and should not be considered relative to absolute guidelines for weekly physical activity (Saint-Maurice et al., 2017; Welk et al., 2017).
