Notes. AOR = adjusted odds ratio. CI = confidence interval. Rows represent levels of the predictor variable (childhood maltreatment profile). Results for 6 separate models are displayed in the columns; column labels (e.g., “Ideation”) denote the dependent variable. All models adjust for age, gender, ethnicity, marital status, religion, soldier and parental education level, nativity, service component, site of Basic Combat Training, and person-year. Adjusting for these variables, childhood maltreatment profile was a significant predictor of all 6 outcomes (ps < .001).
