Figure 2.

Revised structural equation model based on results from the correlation matrix of latent variables (BEACON study; N=258).

Note: CD = caregiving demands; CC = caregiving conflict; TC/A = travel companion/aid; PC/F = personal care/finances. All coefficients are XY-standardized. The model adjusts for baseline substance use (see details in the text). To improve visual clarity, the measurement models for all first-level latent factors are omitted from this figure. The indicators are the same, and factor loadings are very similar, to those in the CFA model in Table II. *< .05, **< .01, ***< .001

PHRQOL R2 = 065; MHRQOL R2 = .65.
