Figure 2 Direct effects model relating child diagnosis status to family health/well-being and child participation, household population aged 5 to 14 with neurodevelopmental disorders/disabilities, Canada, 2006
Description for figure 2
In the direct effects model, child autism spectrum disorder diagnosis status had a significant and meaningful direct effect on family health and well-being (standardized path coefficient = .29, p < 0.05) and on in-school participation (standardized path coefficient = .35, p < 0.05) but not on out-of-school participation (standardized path coefficient = .10, p = 0.02). The components of family health and well-being were physical, psychological and economic. Child in-school participation referred to physical education, recess/lunch activities, school outings, and classroom. Child out-of-school participation referred to summer camp, sports, organized activities, unorganized activities, non-sport lessons, and community programs.
