Note: Prior Probability = Chance of having depression without knowledge of indicator; Posterior Probability = Chance of having depression given vulnerable score on that indicator. Level =Percentage of cases scoring at or above a given diagnostic threshold. Adolescents: PTSD History = NSA-R, Lifetime PTSD module; Young = Ages 12–14; Old = Ages 15–17; Trauma History = NSA-R, Trauma Module; Social Support = SSAS; Adult: PTSD History =NWS-PTSD Module; Young = Ages 18–16; Old = > 65 years old; Trauma=NWSEH-Trauma module; Social Support = MOS-Social Support Module; Property Damage = Property damage counting variable.
