OR = Odds Ratio. CI= Confidence Intervals. Odds ratios greater than 1 signify increased odds, and odds ratios less than 1 signify reduced odds of reporting sexual assault during the time of Gulf War I if participants had the listed characteristic relative to those without the characteristic. Boldface font signifies statistical significance atp < 0.05.
