Supplemental Table 1 presents simple bivariate associations between the study variables for the AD subjects. CTQ total score, as well as all individual trauma types except for physical neglect, showed positive correlations with alcohol dependence severity, as did withdrawal anxiety and depression symptoms, and the personality domain of neuroticism. Negative correlations with alcohol dependence severity were found for age at first intoxication, and for the personality domains of agreeableness and conscientiousness. Based on these preliminary results, we included age at first intoxication, anxiety and depression symptoms, and neuroticism, agreeableness, and conscientiousness as potential mediators in the multiple mediation analyses.
