a
If Veterans answered at least one item within a subscale, they were included; however, some Veterans did not answer any items within a specific subscale and therefore the total N used in calculating means scores differed. The range of responders for all subscales is presented here.
Subscale scores reported as mean score from 1–5 (± standard deviation).
b
P values generated using Wilcoxon rank-sum analysis for nonparametric data and assessed whether the means differed significantly from one another.
