Hello,
I am running a mediation analysis with a binary predictor, a binary mediator and a binary outcome. I used paramed on stata to run this. I got the following output, but am confused as the confidence intervals suggest each of the effects should be significant, but the p values do not
I am unsure how to interpret the results in this case. I would be grateful if anyone has any insight into this. Could it be related to the fact that my variables are binary?
Thanks for your help
