Multivariate analysis of variables associated with trauma exposure (N = 282)

Variable Exposure to ≥8 trauma events
OR [95% CI] P
Sex (men compared to women) 1.66 [1.27–2.17]
IDP ∞ 2.71 [1.64–4.46] <0.01
Refugee ± 2.89 [1.77–4.73] <0.01
Forcefully displaced more than once† 2.03 [1.23–3.35] <0.01

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; IDP, internally displaced person; OR, odds ratio (adjusted).

Statistically significant demographic and displacement variables (P < 0.05) from univariate analysis included in multivariate analysis. Only significant (P < 0.05) adjusted odds ratios from multivariate analysis presented.

∞ IDPs (past and present combined) compared to all non-IDPs.

± Refugees compared to all non-refugees.

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