Each cell displays results from a separate regression. Adjusted generalized estimated equation (GEE) models include the following covariates: primary caregiver and child age, sex, and weight status; child race/ethnicity; income; number of children; weekend observation; follow-up observation; observation after start of Covid-19 school shutdowns. Interpretation example: One additional unit high stress rating in the morning was associated with 29% higher odds of pressuring to eat among food insecure families (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.24 to 1.52; p < 0.001) the same evening at dinner, after controlling for all other covariates in the adjusted models. OR Odds ratio, CI Confidence interval. Bolded values are significant at p < 0.05
