Notes. Predictors that are significant (p<.05) and have at least a small effect size (ORs>1.43 & ORs<0.70) bolded for ease of interpretation.
Adjusted odds ratios adjust for veteran demographics and military service characteristics including age, sex, marital status, race, ethnicity, period of service, rurality, combat status, and military sexual trauma status. Demographic controls can be found in supplemental Table S1 and S2.
For predictors with three or more categories (i.e., service category of assessing provider; veteran’s service connection), groups with different lettered subscripts indicate (1) the total effect was significant (p<.05) and (2) the adjusted pairwise comparisons met our effect size threshold (ORs>1.43 & ORs<0.70).
