Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder; OR, odds ratio (adjusted).

Symptoms of PTSD (HTQ PTSD Score = ≥2.0) and depression (HSCL score = ≥1.75).

Statistically significant (P < 0.05) demographic, displacement and all individual trauma exposure variables (Table 3) from univariate analysis included in multivariate analysis. Only significant (P < 0.05) adjusted odds ratios from multivariate analysis presented.

∞ No longer married (divorced/separated, widowed, forcefully separated) compared to married and never married;

† Displaced more than once (refugees and IDPs) compared to displaced once or never displaced.

‡ Frequency of trauma events analysed separately from individual trauma exposure variables in multivariate analysis.
