Slopes and associated p-values for the outcomes measuring disruption and stress level of caregivers and individuals with ASD
| Predictors | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASD severity score | ASD age | Frequency of school utilization pre-COVID-19 (daily vs. never) | Worry about the individual with ASD being home all the time | Concern about becoming ill or the individual with ASD becoming ill | Stress from being separated from individual with ASD | |
| Outcomes | ||||||
| Disruption—you | 0.024 | 0.505 | 0.484 | |||
| (P = 0.0005) | (P = 0.0314) | (P = 0.0362) | ||||
| Disruption—ASD | 0.024 | 1.088 | 0.85 | 1.264 | ||
| (P = 0.0011) | (P = 0.0004) | (P = 0.0008) | (P = 0.0369) | |||
| Stress—you | 0.02 | − 0.032 | 0.622 | 0.6 | ||
| (P = 0.0012) | (P = 0.0168) | (P = 0.0034) | (P = 0.004) | |||

Positive slopes represent the increase in outcome score from the presence of that stress cause
P-values are italicized for ease of discriminating them from the slopes, which are frequently small
