Correlations between Number of Contacts, Time Durations and Caregiver variables
As shown in Table 2 Spearman’s correlation showed a small significant positive relationship between the number of contacts and delay in treatment (rs = .19, p < .05). No significant relationships were found between the number of contacts with onset duration or help seeking delay. A small significant negative relationship was found between number of contacts and caregiver prior mental health treatment (rs = -.22), such that higher caregiver prior mental health treatment was associated with lower numbers of contacts. Help-seeking delay and onset duration had a positive correlation (rs = .69 p< .05).
