Note. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; CPA = childhood physical abuse; PTSD = posttraumatic stress disorder.

Coefficients presented for Model 1 are from the main effects only model. Model 2 includes all variables from Model 1 in addition to the interaction term. The only significant change in main effects from Model 1 to Model 2 was a significant main effect of alcohol problems for nonphysical aggression only compared to no aggression (b = 1.01, p = .01, OR = 2.73 [95% CI, 1.27, 5.88]), which was superseded by the significant interaction between alcohol problems and PTSD symptom severity.
