^†Early Trauma Inventory (ETISR-SF; Bremner et al., 2007); Although there were no gender differences in trauma exposure overall, males reported significantly more exposures to General Traumas [F(1,16.9) =5.83, p <.05], Physical Punishment [F(113.12) = 6.50, p< .05], and Total Traumas [F(1, 125.13) =7.32, p < .01] compared with females. Mean ETI-SF scores are lower than those previously reported in healthy non-Hispanic participants without psychiatric diagnoses (Klaassens et al., 2009).

^††Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R; Derrogatis, 1977); There were no significant gender differences in symptom severity. Mean SCL-90-R scores for each symptom dimension are in line with those previously reported for Hispanic college students (Martinez et al., 2005). Published normed SCL90-R scores for Hispanics are not available.
