Note. Only variables related to MDS or AS and relapse at p < .10 were included in calculating indirect effects. All individual mediators were included in a multiple mediator model, and a backward selection procedure was conducted by consecutively dropping the least significant mediator and re-fitting the model until all remaining mediators were related to relapse at p ≤ 0.20.
Covariates include age, education, race/ethnicity, partner status and treatment group.
BC= Bias Corrected; PME= Proportion of mediated effect.
