§
Models are mutually adjusted for racial segregation and corporate status.
±
Results are from a linear model because logistic model would not converge
†
Unhealthy food: soda pop, chips & salty snacks; Healthy food: pretzels, low-fat chips & water.
Different superscripts distinguish significant differences (P ≤0.05) among racial segregation categories (a,b) and among corporate status categories (d,e). Categories sharing same superscript were not significantly different.
Sample size varies based on data source of either manager self-report survey data (*) or observational store data (no asterisks).
