aOHIS: online health information seeking.

bComparisons were made for each model per row.

cStandardized coefficients are displayed for paths predicting nondichotomous outcomes; negative relationships are indicated by negative signs. For standardized coefficients, 95% CI values are not available.

dOdds ratios are presented for paths predicting dichotomous outcomes (ie, OHIS) and were generated using Monte Carlo integration because of model complexity; negative relationships are indicated by values <1.

eSignificance values were based on the primary models (ie, without Monte Carlo integration).

fCoefficients or odds ratios differ significantly from those denoted by footnote g at P<.05.
