ACE = adverse childhood experience; IPV = intimate partner violence; EPDS = Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale; DTS = Davidson Trauma Scale; SVAWS = the Severity of Violence Against Women Scale.

^aIn all regression models, age, race, education level, and geographic location were covariates. ACE types were included as independent variables in model 1 and then SVAWS total score were added in model 2. The EPDS and DTS total scores were dependent variables respectively.
