Note: Generalized Anxiety and Social Anxiety are latent factors composed of pre-pandemic clinical diagnoses, parent and child reports of anxiety; Gender is coded as 0 = Girls and 1 = Boys; Maternal Ethnicity is coded as Non-Hispanic Caucasian = 1 and Other = 0; Maternal education was coded as High school graduate = 0, College Graduate = 1, Graduate school graduate = 2, and Other = missing. All models had acceptable fit: Anxiety model (χ2(72) = 106.88, p = .005, RMSEA = .04, SRMR = .07, CFI = .94), Perceived Stress model (χ2(72) = 121.47, p < .001, RMSEA = .05, SRMR = .08, CFI = .91), and COVID-related worries model (χ2(72) = 101.51, p = .013, RMSEA = .04, SRMR = .08, CFI = .95). COVID is the coronavirus disease of 2019. β and b represent the standardized and unstandardized regression coefficients, respectively. p represents the p value.
