PCE = positive childhood experience, ACE = adverse childhood experience, aOR = adjusted odds ratios, CI = confidence intervals.

Models were survey weighted logistic regressions adjusted for covariates in Table 1. Each PCE domain z-score measure was used as a separate independent variable in the models. The aORs reflect the change in the health outcome for every 1 standard deviation change in the given PCE domain z-score measure.
