Tested conceptual model of the relationship between HIV-related stigma, racial discrimination, housing insecurity and wellbeing among African and Caribbean women living with HIV in Ontario.
Fig 1 depicts hypothesized relationships between variables analyzed in the model. Solid lines represent hypothesized direct effects. Ovals represent latent variables, and rectangles represent observed variables.

Final model of the relationship between HIV-related stigma, racial discrimination, housing insecurity and wellbeing among African and Caribbean women living with HIV in Ontario (n = 157).
Fig 2 depicts the relationships between the latent variables (depicted as ovals) and observed variables (depicted as rectangles). Solid lines represent statistically significant direct effects and dotted lines represent statistically significant indirect effects. The standardized path coefficients next to each arrow reflect the strength and direction of the effect between variables, and the coefficient is similar to standardized beta weights in regression modeling.
