a

Estimates of anxiety-mood disorders were based on the K6 and Trauma Screening Questionnaire scales. See the “Methods” section for details.

b

The predictors in M1 consist of the sociodemographic variables in Table 2. The predictors in M2 include those in M1 plus 7 dummy variables for the number of stressors to which the respondent was exposed. The predictors in M3 include those in M1 plus a single dummy variable for exposure to 1 or more stressors and either dummy variables for physical illness/injury and physical adversity (in the New Orleans metro) or a dummy variable for property loss (in the remainder of the sample). The predictors in M4 include those in M3 plus a separate dummy variable for each of the 45 logically possible 2-way interactions among the 10 stressors.
