a The healthy behavioral change index includes physical activity and healthy eating, and scores range from +2 to −2. b Individual-level determinants include sociodemographic, mental health, and behavioral (i.e., adherence to COVID-19 mitigation strategies) factors. c Living arrangement was not included in the final model due to collinearity with lives with someone aged >65 and lives with child aged <18. c Individuals categorized as having depression or anxiety met the criteria for “caseness” (T-score > 60) on the PROMIS 4-item short-form depression and anxiety measures.
