Note: Covariance regression analyses were used to assess differences in follow-up scores between intervention and control groups (intervention effect), adjusting for baseline scores. Separate regression analyses were conducted for each Nutrition and Physical Activity scale and subscale of the Environment and Policy Assessment and Observation (EPAO).
