HEI scores for dietary intake are based on the average of diet recalls from home visits 1 and 2. aNumber of parent diet recalls collected at home visit 1: 97; home visit 2: 95. bNumber of child diet recalls collected at home visit 1: 97; home visit 2: 94. HEI scores for home food inventories are based on the average of home inventories from home visits 1 and 2. cNumber of home food inventories collected at home visit 1: 97; home visit 2: 94.
