Note. Analyses included the following covariates: child age, child health status, parent education, parent health status.

β = standardized regression coefficient; CI = confidence intervals; Χ2 = Chi-squared statistic; DF = degrees of freedom; CFI = Comparative Fit Index; TLI = Tucker Lewis Index; RMSEA = Root Mean Square Error of Approximation. Analyses included the following covariates: child age, child health status, parent education, parent health status, parent mask behavior. Direct effects = associations between the 3 predictors and the outcome. Indirect effects = association between the 3 predictors and the outcome through Intentions.
