| Indirect effects | 95% bootstrap confidence interval | p-value | |

| ACME at different levels of community disorder | |||
| Very low (mean – 2*SD) | 0.017 | (0.007, 0.030) | p <0.001*** |
| Low (mean – 1*SD) | 0.015 | (0.007, 0.020) | p <0.001*** |
| Average (mean) | 0.011 | (0.005, 0.020) | p<0.001*** |
