Bold indicates P < .05. ABCD propensity weights were applied based on the American Community Survey from the US Census.

All adjusted models include sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, race/ethnicity, household income, parent education, site) and COVID-19 related variables (school closure, child diagnosed with COVID-19, and loss of household income due to COVID-19).
