As with any study, limitations must be acknowledged. This study was cross-sectional; as such we cannot know the casual pathways between the predictor variables and behavior change. The study design allowed for internal reliability analysis but does not allow for analysis of data validity. Parents reported behavior change over the past year and
potentially may not recall changes that were attempted but not sustained during this time period. Social desirability may have resulted in parents over reporting behavior change as well asnot accurately reporting their height and weight. Finally, study findings may not be generalizable to other populations. Specifically, participation in free/reduced lunch was a proxy measure for family SES and this variable was the only significantly
