^*𝑝<0.05; ^t𝑝<0.10; total baseline SOC: sum of SOC scores for four SOC subscales (portions + dietary fat + fruits and vegetables + physical activity); total change in SOC: difference of total baseline SOC and total SOC at treatment completion; change in (portions, dietary fat, fruits and vegetables, or physical activity) SOC: difference of SOC subscale at baseline and at treatment completion.
