All models were adjusted for age (at the time of questionnaire completion), childhood adverse SES score (summary variable of yes answers ranging from 0 to 3 of the following questions: low/poor self-reported income growing up, household educational attainment at age 13 < high school, and food insecurity) and race/ethnicity. All TCEs include events that occurred at <18 years. Bolded values indicate statistical significance.
