Figure 1 The moderating role of Adolescent’s family cohesion and conflict in the indirect effect between illness cognition of helplessness among parents and adolescents’ barriers to medication adherence via illness cognition of helplessness among adolescents.

Notes: Solid lines represent significant paths. Dashed lines represent non-significant paths. The sub-factors of cohesion and conflict are bolded to ease reading of the figures. Asterisks in the squares represent the two components of the interaction terms. Asterisk on arrows represent significance levels as follows: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001.
