  • β Estimates refer to the difference in total recall weighted score (from possible of 12.5) explained by each predictor of interest.

  • Multivariate model 1 estimates are adjusted for time between feedback and recall interview and feedback condition.

  • Multivariate model 2 estimates are adjusted for all other variables in the model.

  • *p<0.05.

  • †Reference group was some secondary school.

  • ‡Reference group was New Zealand European and others.

  • BMI, body mass index; HC, health check.
