SE Standard Error, INT Intervention, OAHF Observed Availability of Healthy Foods

a

A null model estimating the average value of a respective study outcome at baseline study

b

A model examining if a respective outcome differs by study site at baseline

c

A Model examining change over time in a respective study outcome

d

A Model examining effect of observed availability of healthy food (OAHF) on a respective outcome and if it modifies the effect of time or intervention on the outcome
