Note. Race = White and Non-Hispanic versus all others; Prior trauma = count of prior exposure to potentially traumatic events reported at T1; Time interval = weeks elapsed between the mass shooting and T2; Means in the Trajectory Class columns with different subscripts differ significantly at p < .05.

MI-R = minimal impact-resilience; HIR = high impact-recovery; MI-MS = moderate impact-moderate symptoms; CD = chronic dysfunction T1 = Time 1; T2 = Time 2; T3 = Time 3; T4 = Time 4; T5 = Time 5; T6 = Time 6; T7 = Time 7; Age = age in weeks at T2; EA = experiential avoidance; strategies = T2 Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale - Limited Access to Strategies for Regulation subscale; clarity = T2 Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale - Lack of Emotional Clarity subscale; PTS = posttraumatic stress.
