Indirect, Direct, and Component Path Estimates for the Accepted Path Model for Each Diabetes Outcome

	Indirect effect ACS → DRD → diabetes outcome			Direct effect ACS → diabetes outcome
Tested model diabetes outcome	path a	path b	overall effect [95% CI]	path c′	overall effect [95% CI]
Model 1a total blood glucose checks	.71***	−.07*	−.08* [−.19, −.01]	−.01	−.01 [−.34, .35]
Model 2a self-care behaviors	.72***	−.04***	−.05** [−.08, −.02]	−.21**	−.18** [−.29, −.08]
Model 3a A1c	.70***	.003*	.004* [.001, .01]	.01	.01 [−.01, .04]

Note. Unstandardized path estimates are presented. Continuous variables were grand-mean-centered prior to analyses. ACS = avoidant coping style; DRD = diabetes-related distress; CI = confidence interval; A1c = hemoglobin A1c.
