Model Fit Statistics: CFI = 0.933; TLI = 0.918; RMSEA = 0.045; SRMR = 0.048.

Note: Total effects is the sum of direct and indirect effects.

Note: Indirect effects are the product of the regression coefficients leading to the outcome. For example for OIPP, OIPP predicts perceptions and perceptions predicts enrollment. The indirect effect and subsequently the total effect of OIPP on enrollment equals the product of the two regression coefficients (From Figure 3) 0.243*0.285 = 0.069.

*Statistically Significant (p < 0.05).
