Note. First, interactions between sex and latent classes were examined. Wald χ2 values are reported for each analysis. Sex-stratified logistic regressions are also included in this table. Low adversities served as the reference group in each analysis. Each of the nine logistic regression analyses were adjusted for race, age, and income. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence intervals.

The analysis examining correlates of hurting an animal was not run for women, because only a small number of women (i.e., <50) reported engaging in this behavior.
