Note.

^aResults are for final models that include the covariates of age at abuse discovery, gender, and abuse severity. Where interaction terms were not significant, results are for reduced final models that exclude the interaction between positive and negative PTC.

^bResults for youth reporting a current romantic relationship.

^*p < .05.
