The mean number of lifetime TE exposures was 3.2 in the total sample (IQR = 2.2–3.7) and 4.6 among those with any TE exposure (IQR = 3.5–4.7). At the aggregate level, temporally primary TEs in all five factors as well as the three separate TEs were positively associated with subsequent exposure to TEs in all five factors and the other three separate TEs, the only exception being no association between being mugged and subsequent interpersonal violence. The strength of these associations varied across events. The strongest associations in the aggregate were temporally primary exposure to TEs related to collective violence with subsequent man-made disaster (OR = 2.1), and temporally primary TEs related to interpersonal violence with subsequent exposure to other traumas in the same group (OR = 2.6) as well as with traumas in the sexual violence group (OR = 2.2). For individual TEs, there were significant associations for traumas within the same factor as well as across factors, though the associations across factors were smaller in magnitude.
