  3. a Physical activity level assessed using 3-items adapted from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire 45 (possible score range 0 to 42)
  4. b Responses were on 5-point Likert scales ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Higher scores indicate greater importance placed on physical activity for self, physical activity for child, and not modeling sedentary behaviors, or more positive outcome expectations associated with engaging in physical activity
  5. c Responses were on a 7-point scale ranging from almost never to everyday. Items are averaged for an overall score; higher scores indicate greater frequency of modeling physical activity for child
  6. d Responses of parent and child screen time are from parent reports in minutes per day
