Results of simple mediation models indicating diabetes self-management (a) and depression (b) as partial mediators of the relationship between support resources for disease management and HbA1c. c = direct relationship between support resources for disease management and HbA1c. c′ = direct relationship between support resources for disease management and HbA1c, after controlling for the proposed mediator. (c) Results of path analysis evaluating the revised model (pathway from depression to self-management removed). Age, gender, and educational attainment were included as covariates in all analyses. Standardized path coefficients are presented.
