Based on bootstrapped analysis of parallel multiple mediator model with multicategorical predictor (patient condom use) adjusting for participant race, gender identity, sexual orientation, and year in training. Indirect, direct, and total effects reported are relative effects because patient condom use is multicategorical.
P < 0.05.
Contrasts effects represent the difference in absolute magnitude of 2 specific indirect effects (mediational pathways). The patient condom use multicategorical variable was recoded into dichotomous variables to generate contrast effects.
