  1. PA Physical activity, SE Standard error
  2. NB. All questionnaire items were scaled so that lower values indicated lower levels of the mediator/outcome. Results are adjusted for strata, season, baseline pedometer steps/day and baseline mediator values with cluster-adjusted standard errors and p-values (b = coefficient for group assignment variable, i.e. Intervention versus Control)
