Symptom Attribution by Level of PTSD^*

Level of PTSD Symptom	Don’t know	Stress/Mental Health	Deployment/Environment	Functional Symptom	Medically Explained	Medically Unexplained Syndrome	Lifestyle
No/Low PTSD Symptom (n=26, # of attributions =174)	18.4%	4.8%	19.2%	17.6%	25.6%	0.8%	13.6%
Sub-Clinical PTSD Symptoms (n=27, # of attributions =312)	23.8%	22.4%	15.2%	10.8%	13.0%	0.0%	14.8%
Clinical PTSD Symptoms (n=36, # of attributions = 213)	15.1%	32.2%	8.5%	12.5%	20.2%	4.6%	6.8%

^*There were 699 attributions across the 89 Veterans. We report the number of Veterans for each clinical threshold for PTSD symptoms (n=) and the number of attributions at each PTSD clinical threshold (# of attributions=xx).

We then report the % of the attributions for each category. E.g., for “No/Low Physical Symptom” group, 26 Veterans reported 174 different attributions, 18.4% of these attributions were “Don’t Know”, 4.8% of these attributions were “Stress/Mental Health”, 19.2% of these attributions were “Deployment/Environment”, 17.6% of these attributions were “Functional Symptom”, 25.6% of these attributions were “Medically Explained”, 0.8% of the attributions were “Medically Unexplained Syndrome”, and 13.6% of these attributions were “Lifestyle”.
