aSelf-reported time-activity diaries (n = 51) from wave II matched with image-based time-activity data by subject ID and date time.

bImage-based time-activity patterns (n = 51) from wave II matched with self-reported time-activity data by subject ID and date time.

cSorting, loading, and transporting materials were combined into ‘Material movement and transport’ prior to testing agreement between the two sources of data with a kappa statistic.
