Note. HLM was used for all outcomes except limited activity days used HGLM with a negative binomial distribution. Models that included significant covariates are indicated by superscripts. Covariates were coded as follows: racial/ethnic minority (0 = non-Latinx White, 1 = racial/ethnic minority), sexual minority (0 = heterosexual, 1 = lesbian/gay/bisexual), sex (0 = male, 1 = female). Hedge’s g effect sizes are model-based estimates of between-group differences in the rate of change across time. DBT PE = Dialectical Behavior Therapy Prolonged Exposure protocol. PTSD = posttraumatic stress disorder.

a

Includes racial/ethnic minority (B = −6.1, SE = 2.9, p < .05), time × racial/ethnic minority (B = −10.5, SE = 4.5, p < .05), and sexual minority (B = 7.1, SE = 2.6, p < .05) as covariates.

b

Includes time × treatment site as a covariate (F (3, 35) = 2.9, p < .05).

c

Includes sex (B = 44.6, SE = 16.3, p < .05) as a covariate.

d

Includes sexual minority (B = 12.1, SE = 5.8, p < .05), sex (B = 17.1, SE = 8.0, p < .05), and time ×racial/ethnic minority (B = −15.3, SE = 7.2, p < .05) as covariates.
