  1. All models adjusted for baseline value of outcome, child age, child sex, and family economic assistance
  2. aAdjusted difference for the control group in reference to the intervention group
  3. bIncidence of increasing weight status is defined as a binary variable and assessed whether or not a child increased in weight status categories from baseline to post-intervention (e.g., healthy weight to overweight or obese, overweight to obese)
