Final exploratory structural equation model of the relationship between married adolescent girls’ haemoglobin levels and empowerment dimensions. Notes: Rectangles indicate observed (directly measured) variables. Ovals represent latent constructs or factors (empowerment dimensions). Unidirectional arrows represent direct effect of exposure on outcome. Values are standardized beta coefficients for respective paths. Bolded values are significant at the 0.05 level. Only statistically significant paths and values are presented. Paths indicated by a dotted line were added to the model following a review of modification indices. Similar paths from household wealth and countries of residence to the remaining empowerment dimensions were statistically significant but are not shown to simplify figure interpretation. Not shown: Error terms for estimated variables, covariance of factors
