Paths from household income to	Direct	Indirect to i	Indirect from i	p (x to y via i)	% of indirect/total
Behavioural and social–emotional problems	−0.195 (−0.289, −0.102)	−0.217 (−0.283, −0.150)	0.321 (0.221, 0.421)	<0.001	26.4

No indirect effects found via the mental health slope mediator; total effects = sum of direct effect and indirect effect (product of indirect to i and indirect from i).
