Chi-square tests of interaction between group status (patients, sibling, or control) and childhood trauma or childhood urbanicity in the model predicting educational difference

χ 2a Df b p
Childhood trauma 2.37 2 0.31
Childhood trauma—dummyc 3.25 4 0.52
Urbanicity 1.67 2 0.43
Urbanicity—dummyd 7.50 8 0.48

Childhood trauma and childhood urbanicity are both categorical variables with n categories, entered both as a continuous variable and as n − 1 dummy variables
