Structural equation modeling with standardized estimates were used to investigate relationships. Significant direct effects indicate direct association between variables. For example, higher levels of historic redlining are associated with higher diabetes prevalence. Significant indirect effects indicate pathways through which variables influence outcomes. For example, increased historic redlining is associated with diabetes prevalence through discrimination.
