Note: PABAK = Prevalence and Bias-adjusted Kappa

The behavior was unspecified, typically with regards to healthy behaviors in general

The behavior was specified but not an a priori identified health behavior (e.g., mindfulness)

It was unclear whether the coded technique was specific to the parent, child or both
