Note. B = unstandardized regression coefficient; Beta = standardized regression coefficient; statistically significant βs (at p<0.05) are shown in bold;

Statistical significance represented at *p<0.05,

^**

p<0.01, or

^***

p<.0.001.

All F values significant at p<0.001; weighted Ns are reported below.

Adjusted for any mental health treatment, race, marital status, employment status, education, income, enlistment status, combat veteran status, number of lifetime traumas, cognitive functioning, and physical health difficulties. Final unadjusted model in Younger Group: F(3,430)=75.02, p<0.001; Final adjusted model in Younger Group: F(14,419)=80.88, p<0.001; Final unadjusted model in Older Group: F(3,282)=8.15, p<0.001; Final adjusted model in Older Group: F(14,271)=7.65, p<0.001).
