Results from the multiple-group measured variable path analysis model based on maximum likelihood estimation. Standardized coefficients are presented. Coefficients in bold are significantly different from the others when considering the same association. Solid lines mean that at least one coefficient in one group was significant. Dashed lines represent nonsignificant associations between variables. Groups are labeled with the respective out-of-home care. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001. ¹ As measured through the proxy variable of time elapsed between request for child’s protection and placement in out-of-home care.
