bWebsite usage: website usage engagement may not have occurred on consecutive days.

cα=.05.

dSession: using the website to interact with content. For example, viewing step statistics and joining a Challenge.

eModel based on generalized linear regression using negative binomial family and identity link, which was adjusted for Challenge and Tournament counts.

fN/A: not applicable.

gModel based on generalized linear regression using Poisson family and identity link, which was adjusted for Challenge and Tournament counts.
