Denotes significance after correction for the false discovery rate.

Abbreviations. PTSD, posttraumatic stress disorder; MDE, major depressive episode; MVC, motor vehicle collision

To reduce redundancy, each survey-based assessment of Probable PTSD and MDE is referred to in the table and subsequent footnotes as “PTSD” and “MDE.” Estimates based on multiply-imputed data (30 imputations) and frequencies may not always sum to 100.
