Impact of Asthma Control on GAD-7 and perceived COVID-19 stress of others. Simple mediation model with Asthma Control Questionnaire-6 (ACQ-6) score as the independent variable, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Assessment-7 (GAD-7) score as the dependent variable, and perceived COVID-19 stress of others as a mediator in the subgroup of participants with poorly controlled asthma (defined as ACQ-6 ≥ 1.5). Covariates included age and previous anxiety syndrome diagnosis. Solid lines indicate statistically significant effects and dashed lines indicate statistically insignificant effects. Perceived COVID-19 stress was not a significant mediator of the relationship between ACQ-6 and GAD-7 (indirect effect β=-0.007, 95% CI=[-0.081,0.085]).
