Only significant models are presented.

OUD=opioid use disorder; ETI-SR= Early Trauma Inventory Self-Report, SE= standard error, CI=confidence interval

a.

Model 2=total effect and Model 3=direct effect of early life trauma on opioid use disorder severity in the univariate mediation analyses.

b.

T-scores and p-values not available for this method; indirect effects that do not include 0 in the confidence interval are significant.

c.

Model 4=total effect and Model 5=direct effect in the multiple mediation analysis.
