Note: A test of the single risks approach was represented in unadjusted models in which co-occurring types of adversity were not controlled (e.g., child abuse without controlling for poverty). The child abuse, community violence, and poverty variables were dichotomized and summed to produce a score of the total number of adversities experienced to represent the cumulative risk approach. Sex was included as a covariate in all analyses.
