all path models and included sex, age, maltreatment status, and race as covariates. Several ACEs variables were too infrequent to obtain reliable parameter coefficients and are indicated with ‘--’ in the cells. Separate models were used for ACEs variables: dichotomous coding; upset rating; age at 1st occurrence. IPV=intimate partner violence. Upset rating was recoded to zero for any who did not endorse the item. The model with upset rating only for those endorsing each item showed no significant main effects thus only the variable with the non-endorsement recoded to zero is shown
