Figure 1: Mediation model at 24 months follow-up.
Marked bold are statistically significant coefficients.
The model in the figure includes the following: a = effect of the intervention on mediators; b = effect of the mediators on children’s mental health; c’ = direct (unmediated) effect of the intervention on children’s mental health; c = total effect of the intervention on children’s mental health.
The model account for potential correlation among the mediators by estimating correlations among their residuals. The models also control for child’s age, gender, and orphanhood status (single orphan vs. double orphan). Given the complexity of the model, coefficients are shown only for a, b, c, and c’ paths. All other coefficients produced by the model are available in Table 2.
