aMD: mean difference (parent-reported value subtract researcher-measured value).

bρc: Lin concordance correlation coefficient, ranging from 0 to ±1, where a value close to 1.0 (and a 45° fitted line of perfect concordance) suggests a perfect level of agreement, .951-.99 is substantial agreement, .90-.950 is moderate agreement, and <.90 is poor agreement).

cData were available from n=19 intervention families due to missing parent-reported weight.
