Significant trauma predictors of the transition from first use to AUD were observed in EA women only (Table 4). Sexual abuse [HR= 1.21, 95%CI: (1.01–1.44)], PA [HR= 1.30, 95%CI: (1.12–1.50)], and witnessing injury or death [HR= 2.14, 95%CI: (1.27–3.59)] predicted transition to AUD. In addition, tobacco use [HR= 1.53, 95%CI: (1.26–1.86)] and cannabis use [HR= 1.91, 95%CI: (1.67–2.19)] increased the hazard of transitioning from alcohol initiation to AUD diagnosis in EA women. Only cannabis use increased the hazard of transition to AUD in AA women [HR= 2.81, 95%CI: (1.74–4.54)]. PTSD remained non-significant in both EA and AA women.
