Note: Data presented as M ± SD and n (%).

a

Due to small sample size, participants identifying as Asian (n = 1; 4.0%), Native American (n = 1; 4.0%) were combined in the Other category for analysis.

b

Due to small sample size, data were dichotomized by non-interpersonal (i.e., transportation, serious accident, life-threatening injury, sudden violent death, sudden accidental death) vs. interpersonal (i.e., physical assault, assault with a weapon, sexual assault, other sexual experience, combat exposure) index trauma for analysis

c

Data not available for four participants on Negative Urgency (16.0%) subscale, five on Lack of Perseverance (20.0%), five on Lack of Premeditation (20.0%), five on Sensation Seeking (20.0%), and five on Positive Urgency (20.0%).
