Note. SCFFF = South County Food, Fitness and Fun. YAQ = Youth Adolescent Food Frequency Questionnaire. BKFS = Block Kids Food Screener. PSC = Pediatric Symptom Checklist. PedsQL = Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. Values are mean ± SD unless otherwise specified; values were obtained by performing the paired t-test except for the note. aData were collected from 1–9 cohorts. bData were collected from 10–14 cohorts. cData were collected from 1–8 cohorts. d, eData were collected from 9–14 cohorts. fThe risk difference = (proportion of post-Yes among all pre-Yes) – (proportion of post-Yes among all pre-No). g value was calculated by McNemar’s test (binary variables). .
