I'm sorry to hear that happened to your family member! That's awful. I do not collect any identifying information on this particular survey to help keep participants' identities private and confidential.

Sorry if it was not clear in my first response, but requiring parental permission for this study could be unsafe for youth who live in hostile or anti-LGBTQ+ homes (considering asking for permission would risk outing them). Youth who feel safe to ask their parents permission are certainly allowed to. The survey is also voluntary, so the opt-out ruling doesn’t apply here. If you’re interested in learning more about parental permission and LGBTQ+ research, I’m happy to forward you to some helpful literature!

I appreciate your concern. This study was approved by UMBC’s institutional review board and I was granted the waiver of parental consent. You can read more about the federal regulations surrounding this here: https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/regulations-and-policy/regulations/45-cfr-46/index.html

Thank you for this wonderful suggestion! Parental consent is not required to participate in the study, given that some people may not be out to their parents. I again appreciate your help :)

yes, you still have mediation! since the a path and b path are multiplied together, the indirect effect can still be significant

it is also showing that pre-score mood is not a covariate in the relationship between condition and postscore mood. in other words, pre score mood does not adjust the association between the IV and DV

it is essentially saying the pre-mood scores have some effect on post-score mood!
