Frequencies and percentages were reported for categorical variables; means and standard deviations were reported for continuous variables. Differences in participant characteristics by tertiles of greenness metrics were tested using Chi-square test for categorical variables and one-way ANOVA for continuous variables. Significance was set at p ≤ 0.05.
