N = 151 for mother reports; N = 151 for child self-reports. Cancer-related stress reflects self-reports for all columns except CBCL for which it reflects mother report on child. Family Member Symptoms = YSR Affective Problems T scores in the regression predicting mothers’ BDI-II; child IES-R scores in the regression predicting mothers’ IES-R; BDI-II scores in the regression predicting YSR Affective Problems and CBCL Affective Problems; mother IES-R scores in the regression predicting children’s IES-R. Regression analyses were also conducted for each mother-reported dependent variable (BDI-II, IES-R, CBCL) without child symptoms in the model to examine effects among the full sample of mothers and results of the final the step of these models were not different from the models presented in the table.
