A–D

Groups with the same superscript (A to D) within each row/column do not differ significantly.

a

Physical health problem caseness was defined as Poor or Fair self-perceived physical health.

b

Percentages with the same superscript within column within risk factor do not differ significantly.

c

Depression caseness was defined as Moderate or Severe depression.

d

Anxiety caseness was defined as Moderate or Severe anxiety.

e

Somatic syndrome caseness was defined as Moderate or Severe somatic syndrome.

f

Functional impairment caseness was defined as Moderate or Severe functional impairment.

g

In order to reflect the analyses adjusting for Province, n and% are model-based estimates.

h

Because of imbalanced cell sizes, the omnibus test in some instances may be significant but no pairwise comparisons significant.

i

The Number of major storms line does not include 0 because n=5 for that cell.

j

Number traumatic events includes traumatic major storm exposure.
