The contribution of adversity variables over the life - course in mediating excess risks of common mental disorders and poorer self - rated
health at midlife was assessed.31 To assess mediation, three criteria needed to be fulfilled.31 First, the association of parental migration history with putative mediator was assessed using multivariable logistic regression.31 Second, the association of the putative mediator with the outcome variable (poorer self - rated health and common mental disorders at midlife) was assessed using multivariable logistic regression.31 Finally, the association of parental migration history with outcome --(either midlife common mental disorders or poorer self - rated
health at midlife) was assessed in the presence of the putative mediator.31 If the coefficient for the association between parental migration history and outcome was reduced in the presence of the putative mediator, then it was presumed that the data were consistent with mediation.31
The association of being second - generation Irish and screening positive for common mental disorders and poorer self - rated
