Note. PTSD = Posttraumatic stress disorder. Analyses of covariance control for past-year income, employment, living with partner (yes = 1, no = 0), mean days of face-to-face contact, and past six-month physical intimate partner violence victimization. Means that do not share subscripts differ by p < .05.
