aComparing new residents to longer-term residents. Adjusted model is the interaction model including interaction term and adjusting for age, race, marital status, education level, yearly household income, employment status, and type of residence.

For those unexposed to neighborhood violence, OR 2.03, 95% CI (1.19, 3.45) when comparing longer-term residents to new residents
