FIGURE 4.

Multiple-mediator, multiple-group model of the direct and indirect effects of sexual minority status on depressive symptoms. Arrows leading to wave 2 mediators (family satisfaction, cyberbullying victimization, and unmet medical needs) represent the coefficients for the associations between sexual minority status and each mediator. Arrows leading to depressive symptoms represent the coefficients for the associations between each mediator and baseline depressive symptoms, controlling for sexual minority status and covariates. The coefficient above the dashed arrow leading to depressive symptoms shows the quantified direct association between sexual minority status and baseline depressive symptoms not through the mediators examined. W2, wave 2.
