  1. The table shows descriptive statistics of the sample, including age (in years) and family affluence (log-transformed household disposable income), sex (female, male), maternal education (primary or no education, secondary education, university education), psychological wellbeing, family support & autonomy and peer support (all T-scores; 0–100) and neighbourhood characteristics, including population density (in 100 inhabitants per square kilometre), residential greenness (in percent cover in a 300 m buffer), neighbourhood deprivation (low deprived, medium deprived, high deprived) and green space availability (yes, no). The columns show the range, mean and standard deviations (SD) for each continuous measure, and frequencies for binary and ordinal measures, for the total sample (left column), for the sample at Time 1 (middle column) and for the sample at Time 2 (right column).
