Note: Depression = depressive symptoms, Anxiety = anxious symptoms, Conduct = conduct problems, Neg. Relationships = Neg. Rel. = negative social relationships. Standardized β coefficients are presented. Controls for gender, ethnicity, and baseline psychological distress were imposed in all regression analyses. Model R² includes demographic controls, baseline psychological distress, past suicidality, hypothesized mediators, and the interactions.
