q2 i? Significant indirect effects from the intervention via home environment quality emerged for both behavior problems (β = -0.020, SE = 0.006, p =.001) and social skills (β = 0.034, SE = 0.007, p <.001). → Finch 2016

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Mediation test within the Mplus path model of the PEDS follow-up. The significant specific indirect pathway ran through home environment at 24 and 48 months to both outcomes, with "β = -0.020, SE = 0.006, p =.001" for behavior problems and "β = 0.034, SE = 0.007, p <.001" for social skills.

"Significant indirect effects from the intervention via both measures of home environment quality emerged for both behavior problems (β = -0.020, SE = 0.006, p =.001) and social skills (β = 0.034, SE = 0.007, p <.001)"

Related Claims¶

• Home environment quality at age four predicts children's behavior problems and social skills — related
• The responsive stimulation intervention is directly associated with children's social skills but not behavior problems at age four — related
• The zero-to-two responsive stimulation intervention shows sustained impacts on social skills and behavior problems into the preschool period despite severe disadvantage — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• A responsive stimulation intervention delivered from birth to age two is significantly associated with home environment quality at age two in rural Pakistan — related
