Betas in the “Step” column represent those yielded for each individual step. PTSD = Posttraumatic Stress Disorder; OR = Odds Ratio; CI = 95% The “age” variable has ages 11-12 as the reference category. All others are dichotomously coded, with a code of “0” reflecting that the demographic/exposure characteristic was not endorsed by participants and a code of “1” indicating that the characteristic was endorsed.
