Identification and Characterization of Families That Are Positively Deviant for Childhood Obesity in a Latino Population: A Case-Control Study.

They had higher self-efficacy despite lower education. There were fewer differences in diet and physical activity than expected. PMID: 30018820 [PubMed - in process]
