For ease of interpretation, significant effects are bolded. Child age and sex were included in all models. For parsimony, models included non-interpersonal trauma only when a significant bivariate association with the outcome was present. Violence/Harsh Parenting variable was positive if violent interpersonal trauma was reported or the child experienced very harsh parenting incorporating physical and/or verbal aggression.
